I doubt he was just biding his time in Maine waiting for - FIJItiger MU

- 6/15 12:43:04

he is 52, spent most of his life in the NE - iDr SEC - 6/15 12:50:52

He might be interested, not sure it would be mutual - FIJItiger MU

- 6/15 12:54:25

thus, why he would leave the NE to take a job - iDr SEC - 6/15 13:33:14

And so it goes - alwaysright MU - 6/15 11:42:56

Compare this staff to Anderson's staff. nm. - MUTGR SEC - 6/15 11:03:23

Or compare it to Quin's staff - FIJItiger MU

LOL, dude you have a serious case of Quinitus - MIZZOUowns UGA - 6/15 12:23:08

Agree, his near destruction of our program has not been - FIJItiger MU

- 6/15 12:42:07

In fairness - Defense needed to tighten up - Knucklehead MU - 6/15 11:58:10

Agreed. Our defense last year wasn't good, but a lot - BadAsh SEC - 6/15 13:11:48

Or players in general....(nm) - tigersfan MU - 6/15 13:17:28

quantity, yes.(nm) - BadAsh SEC - 6/15 15:28:02

The defense can tighten up when the bench gets deeper.(nm) - SuperTone MU

- 6/15 12:05:10

With our current players, I don't think we have to worry - high.nrg - 6/15 11:13:46

- 6/15 11:21:47

I imagine Pressey will really step up his offensive game - high.nrg - 6/15 11:38:43

Personally hope not, I'd like to see his ppg go down actualy - FIJItiger MU

- 6/15 11:41:29

He needs to take and make his shots to keep the D honest(nm) - tigersfan MU - 6/15 13:20:25

I don't want him to chuck up a bunch of shots either. But - high.nrg - 6/15 12:32:26

Agreed. I don't mind Pressey scoring more, as long as he - BadAsh SEC - 6/15 13:16:08

We need help on defense and rebounding. Most of it was - MUTGR SEC - 6/15 11:34:26

Agreed, but I think the roster next year will translate into - BadAsh SEC - 6/15 13:13:58

Agree - big-time assistants want to work for Haith - NYC Tiger MU - 6/15 10:50:48

Yes, but also that he's willing to bring in guys like this.. - MUTGR SEC - 6/15 11:06:05
