Columbia, Mo. — From Truman the Tiger to pompom-shaking cheerleaders, the backdrop for Missouri's unveiling of new men's basketball coach Mike Anderson at Mizzou Arena Sunday afternoon was pure celebration.

For embattled athletic director Mike Alden - who hours earlier seemingly survived efforts to fire him - relief may be the operative word.

A grim-faced group of university leaders, joined on speaker phone by Missouri curators from across the state, spent two-and-a-half hours behind closed doors during an emergency meeting to discuss unspecified personnel matters.

The topic of discussion, according to numerous media reports, was the fate of Alden, who has been under consistent public fire since mid-February over the handling of former men's basketball coach Quin Snyder's resignation.

After the curators' meeting, system President Elson Floyd declined comment, but spokesman Joe Moore said no vote was taken. And University of Missouri-Columbia chancellor Brady Deaton, who attended the meeting, said Alden is still on the job.

Two hours later, Anderson, a former Arkansas assistant lured from the top job at Alabama-Birmingham, spoke glowingly of Alden, his new boss.

"I have the utmost confidence in Mike Alden," Anderson told reporters and fans. "I see some great days ahead. And it's going to be under the leadership of Mike Alden."

When he resigned in early February with six regular-season games to go, Snyder said he was forced out by Alden, receiving the news from Gary Link, a Tiger broadcaster and Alden assistant. Alden has denied that account, and two university investigations stopped short of verifying Snyder's charge.

On Sunday, Alden called the talk of his possible ouster a "distraction" that takes a back seat to the announcement of Anderson's hiring.

"My focus hasn't been on that really at all, to be honest with you," he said. "My focus has been and will continue to be on doing the best job I can possibly do as the athletic director of this institution."

                         You're mentally retarded. (nm) - zounami MU - 12/14 13:20:34
                         I don't think the op is "pining" for Howland - Th8tnTiger MU - 12/14 13:18:28
                              Howland would have done extremely well here, similar to - zounami MU - 12/14 13:30:50
                                   His results would be very similar here to what they - Jeff85 MU - 12/14 13:40:06
                                        mpjr was a total bust, jontay was ok but not a program - Th8tnTiger MU - 12/14 13:43:10
                                             And you would be here mad as hell with 1 or 2 bids in - Jeff85 MU - 12/14 13:46:00
                                                  uhh isn't that where we are?(nm) - Th8tnTiger MU - 12/14 14:01:41
                                                       no, we're about to have 3 losing seasons in 4 years. (nm) - zounami MU - 12/14 14:05:49
                                                            ...and by "losing" I mean completely uncompetitive (nm) - zounami MU - 12/14 14:06:16
                                                  it's basically 3 bids in 4 seasons, at the toughest place to - zounami MU - 12/14 13:50:17
                                        We'll have to agree to disagree on that. (nm) - zounami MU - 12/14 13:40:42
                                   I agree, msu is about as difficult place to win as there is - Th8tnTiger MU - 12/14 13:35:21
                                        Toughest place to win in the SEC, hands down. (nm) - zounami MU - 12/14 13:37:31
               Howland is 5-1 against Cuonzo, winning by an average of 15+ - zounami MU - 12/14 13:10:28
                    That's some thin soup - HissingPrigs77 MU - 12/14 13:12:16
                         It's pure FACT, unlike the lie that you posted... - zounami MU - 12/14 13:17:28
                    neither are great choices. (nm) - TigerA MU - 12/14 13:11:34
                         Howland has reached three (3) Final Fours, and won at - zounami MU - 12/14 13:13:09
                              One tourney in 6 years would have TB on fire - Jeff85 MU - 12/14 13:16:05
                                   If you're counting the COVID-cancellation season, then you - zounami MU - 12/14 13:23:35
                                        2 in 6 would be considered an epic failure at MU - Jeff85 MU - 12/14 13:29:55
                                             Not with the rebuild he faced there. It's more like 3 in 4.. - zounami MU - 12/14 13:33:48
                                                  You never let go no matter what - Jeff85 MU - 12/14 13:53:47

               BTW, your takes have been really stupid recently. (nm) - zounami MU - 12/14 13:02:40

               You must be older than I suspected (nm) - FIJItiger MU - 12/14 12:59:14
