d2 National championships would probably be absolutely unthinkable for you but a guy 1-20 against top 150 teams at Cleveland St, and historically bad in just his 2nd season here is perfectly acceptable.

Little harder to recruit better players than your conference mates at Mizzou than Cleveland State. There's zero excuse for big money conference teams to not have good players. Knowing what strategies to employ and which players can best translate those strategies out onto the court means everything at this level. Year 2 means so much more than year 1 because it takes into account a coaches ability to adapt not only to his player changes but the new ways in how opponents attack and defend his team.

Gates failed miserably this year in all of these areas.

Agree or not? I think we have to patch together a decent - Tiger_1995 MU - 3/11 11:15:16
     We aren't doing anything - warren7 MU - 3/11 17:38:18
          That’s the type of year with a new AD - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/11 17:44:34
     Doesn't MU have the 4th-ranked recruiting class next year? - ERB KC - 3/11 14:50:00
          You think freshmen and the current bunch are going to be - Tiger_1995 MU - 3/11 18:08:45
               Getting Honor and Carter off the floor - Nazfan MU - 3/12 11:51:52
                    Only if the roster is upgraded. - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/12 11:55:05
     if you Tonje and Grill come back, this team needs 1 or 2 - HissingPrigs77 MU - 3/11 14:14:31
          LOL! We were not good this year at all. I am tired of - Tiger_1995 MU - 3/11 18:09:47
          Assuming Bates, Grill, and Tonje return, this team needs - tsutiger57 MU - 3/11 15:10:20
               We can't count on Bates, Grill, and Tonje coming back. And, - Tiger_1995 MU - 3/11 18:12:02
          I would go after 3 players if both of them return - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/11 14:19:26
               If Bates, Grill, and Tonje are our best 3 players next year, - Tiger_1995 MU - 3/11 18:13:09
                    No one is saying they will be the 3 best players. - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/11 18:18:45
                         We need at least 3 new players better than we have now(nm) - Tiger_1995 MU - 3/11 18:27:45
                              I doubt you see Mizzou add 3 better - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/11 18:44:08
                                   Again... we should aim higher. Tamar Bates is not going to - Tiger_1995 MU - 3/11 18:49:22
                                        What team added 2 NBA players in the portal - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/11 18:51:55
                                             I don't know but that is what we need if we want to win like - Tiger_1995 MU - 3/11 18:54:07
                                                  I think you are going to have to accept - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/11 19:16:02
                                                       We need serious NIL money. We need to pretend that MU wants - Tiger_1995 MU - 3/11 19:37:38
                                                            That’s well and good. It just might take more - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/11 19:43:06
               Sure, but what will truly move the needle is - HissingPrigs77 MU - 3/11 16:38:43
                    I get your point but we should be aiming for much - Tiger_1995 MU - 3/11 18:15:16
                         Mizzou has never been a NCAA tournament team - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/11 18:19:40
                              They did not let as many in during Norm's years. Now they - Tiger_1995 MU - 3/11 18:26:49
                                   Norm made it 66% of the time under the expanded - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/11 18:29:40
                                        Norm was a good coach. That is why there is a statue of him - Tiger_1995 MU - 3/11 18:31:48
                                             Your minimum expectation for the program - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/11 18:42:16
                                                  Yes! As it should be. Why have the program and sink all of - Tiger_1995 MU - 3/11 18:44:23
                                                       Mizzou hasn’t sunk much money into the program - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/11 18:50:49
                                                            I agree 100%.(nm) - Tiger_1995 MU - 3/11 18:54:41
     Gates never missed a jump shot or a rebound - samclemens MU - 3/11 12:50:56
          Did you see his offensive strategy and subsitutions?(nm) - Tiger_1995 MU - 3/11 13:28:22
               Mizzou had an elite offense last year - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/11 14:03:08
                    You have to adapt to the players you have. PPG this year was - Tiger_1995 MU - 3/11 18:33:52
                    Maybe not if coaches and teams you play make smart - gaber c. MU - 3/11 14:59:09
                         The things last years team was good at - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/11 15:01:39

                                   He’s going to have to recruit better - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/11 15:20:35
                                        I think all last year proved was that Mizzou had 2 - gaber c. MU - 3/11 15:26:15

                                                  He never recruited and coached so poorly that his - gaber c. MU - 3/11 15:34:33
                                                       If Gates keeps his recruiting up - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/11 15:45:20
                                                            Gates proving himself to you is like Jim Jones - gaber c. MU - 3/11 15:51:15
                                                                 Being angry doesn’t help you. - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/11 15:57:03
                                                                      You should honestly examine the reason Dennis Gates - gaber c. MU - 3/11 16:15:20
                                                                           We know why he was hired. - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/11 16:45:56

                                                                                                                                  No team Gates coaches where he overplays guards - gaber c. MU - 3/11 19:03:07
