hiring Porter Sr. That showed MU was serious about competing in men's basketball to make a move like that. That required AD and booster decisions to not treat this like a D2 program anymore.

Once we showed we were serious about competing again by hiring Porter Sr, I think it would have taken an absolutely atrocious hire to dissuade his sons from following.

is this is a widely accepted opinion? - 90Tiger MU - 6/16 14:53:59
     They would have come for a lot of coaches, but not for - alwaysright MU - 6/17 17:35:58
     After Romar was fired, yeah - Cosmo MU - 6/17 12:22:00
          Romar was fired because the Porters left, not the other way - zounami MU - 6/17 15:11:59
               no matter how many times you write it you are still - Jeff85 MU - 6/18 04:13:54
                    you're wrong (nm) - zounami MU - 6/18 12:37:50
                    you would think so, but the timeline of events - alwaysright MU - 6/18 07:04:08
               link to that? - Cosmo MU - 6/17 15:22:46
                    The evidence is that it was originally reported that UW was - zounami MU - 6/17 15:51:45
                         oh (nm) - Cosmo MU - 6/17 17:13:58
     I believe that to be true - dttiger MU - 6/17 08:45:28
     Nope, just a few 'clingers' truly believe that BS - MoGold MU - 6/16 22:49:19
          I'm not sure you understand Mizzmi's post (nm) - Cosmo MU - 6/17 13:06:40
          "clingers"? Clinging to what? - Mizzmi27 MU - 6/16 22:55:20
               ^^^^True Son Alert! (nm) - Evenflow MU - 6/16 22:59:42
                    KA was so bad he made "true son" a derogatory term... - zounami MU - 6/17 15:11:29
                         That is a good point - quicksand MU - 6/18 16:46:16
                              True, that's what it means with respect to coaches. I gave - zounami MU - 6/18 18:29:35
                    you got me - Mizzmi27 MU - 6/16 23:14:43
     No(nm) - raskolnikov MU - 6/16 20:30:04
     Yes - Sterk paid a million and they needed a place to go - alstl MU - 6/16 18:56:41
     Kim Anderson will do fine at Pittsburg State - El Zorro MU - 6/16 18:15:33
          I'm not seeing how anyone thinks this is about Kim - Mizzmi27 MU - 6/16 22:53:43

                         5003 and counting... - zounami MU - 6/17 14:51:24
          No he was turnin'n it around & would win 20 games by '42.. - tigertix MU - 6/16 18:45:05
     DADGUM RIGHT!!!1 ANDERSON WOULD BE COACHING THE PORTERS!1 - Mothball MU - 6/16 18:00:24
     LOL No. Dont know wher Mizzme is getting her info - Kazoo MU - 6/16 16:30:37
          You didn't read my post - Mizzmi27 MU - 6/16 16:34:21
     probably had to give Dad the job, and it didn't hurt that - Ragnar Danneskjold MU - 6/16 16:11:24
          That must have been an interesting conversation - quicksand MU - 6/18 16:57:28
               LOL (nm) - zounami MU - 6/18 18:30:53
          THANK DADGUM GOD WE FINALLY RECOVERED FROM 23 WINS WITH 8!11 - Mothball MU - 6/16 18:01:48
          Cuonzo probably doesn't know what Kim looks like, much less - FIJItiger MU - 6/16 16:13:19
               Cuonzo had probably never even heard of KA. (nm) - zounami MU - 6/16 16:22:50
                    He probably asked why his office has an old man smell - FIJItiger MU - 6/16 16:33:55
                         He probabably asked - chokingmychickenhawk MU - 6/16 21:05:24
     Only the Porters know if they would have come back to KA - MU-TULSA MU - 6/16 15:45:30
          That's not even the question. The Porters already rejected - zounami MU - 6/16 15:49:56
     It required MU to try in men's basketball - FIJItiger MU - 6/16 15:39:16
          True, but once the program had gotten to 8 wins per season - zounami MU - 6/16 15:42:05
               IMO more important in the decision than hiring Martin was - FIJItiger MU - 6/16 15:45:47
                    We tried to hire Porter when KA was head coach, but the - zounami MU - 6/16 15:48:34
                         Right, we weren't trying then. We couldn't even get any - FIJItiger MU - 6/16 15:51:06
                              They would not have returned if we had hired someone who - zounami MU - 6/16 15:52:53
                                   The kids might not have played for MU - FIJItiger MU - 6/16 15:56:50
                                        The family already proved they were willing to separate... - zounami MU - 6/16 16:00:24
                                             No, they wanted to come back to Columbia. Just had - FIJItiger MU - 6/16 16:04:03
                                                  Yes, they wanted to come back for an *established* coach... - zounami MU - 6/16 16:07:44
                                                       I guess the key distinction here is who is 'they' - FIJItiger MU - 6/16 16:11:31
                                                            "they" = MPS, MPJ, Jontay... All 3 of them needed to feel - zounami MU - 6/16 16:15:03
                                                                 You two should check out the TBIM function or just - Gary P. MU - 6/17 07:22:29
                                                                      5004 and counting... - zounami MU - 6/17 14:53:42
                                                                 MPS was coming back to work for MU. The whole family - FIJItiger MU - 6/16 16:32:12
     There's a good chance that's true. As long as the - Supreme Tiger - 6/16 15:34:06
          "as long as the relationship seems workable" is changing - zounami MU - 6/16 15:36:51
               and essentially the very essence of my point here (nm) - 90Tiger MU - 6/16 15:55:47
                    No, you claimed we were miraculously lucky Martin had - Mizzmi27 MU - 6/16 16:28:45
                         Name another P6 coach who probably would have taken the - zounami MU - 6/16 16:33:22
                              On Crean, you do realize IU was in Porters top 5? - Mizzmi27 MU - 6/16 16:38:00
                                   I mentioned Crean because I think he was probably... - zounami MU - 6/16 16:41:15
                                        A number of those guys likely would have - Mizzmi27 MU - 6/16 16:43:53
                                             Maybe, maybe not. It wouldn't have been "miraculously - zounami MU - 6/16 16:48:35
                    Exactly. I've seen several replies along the lines of.... - zounami MU - 6/16 16:02:41
     I wouldn't say so, it would still have to be a coach - tigersfan MU - 6/16 15:22:12
          Hard to say, because sisters are still here and hopefully - Diamond Dave MU - 6/16 15:28:07
     It's probably true to an extent - zodiac6 JC - 6/16 15:10:17
          so, Frank Haith or Bruce Weber, John Groce, Bob - 90Tiger MU - 6/16 15:27:12
               Bob Huggins, yes (not sure why you included him). The others - zounami MU - 6/16 16:04:33
               Bob Huggins, absolutely. - zodiac6 JC - 6/16 15:58:28
               If Sr accepts a job on staff and Pingeton is still here - Diamond Dave MU - 6/16 15:28:43
                    would sr have accepted a job with haith? (nm) - 90Tiger MU - 6/16 15:31:27
                         I actually think Haith would have landed the Porters as long - zounami MU - 6/16 15:44:19
                         Likely, given their shared strong religious beliefs (nm) - FIJItiger MU - 6/16 15:40:49
                         Probably so. Money talks and his daughters/family - Diamond Dave MU - 6/16 15:40:45
          Oh -"any established name" uh - 90Tiger MU - 6/16 15:20:31
               If you think Cuonzo Martin is the ONLY way that - alwaysright MU - 6/17 17:37:40
                    That's not what he said. (nm) - zounami MU - 6/17 17:43:05
                         It's what he's suggesting. - alwaysright MU - 6/18 07:04:47
          "Any *established* name" is probably correct, but that's not - zounami MU - 6/16 15:11:44
               Yes it was, but whatever. You probably argue about politics - Uncle John MU - 6/16 15:17:13
               Which targeted coach would not have landed the Porters - Mizzmi27 MU - 6/16 15:16:43
                    Considering he had Cuonzo ranked at the bottom of who Sterk - Uncle John MU - 6/16 15:29:03
                         Cuonzo was in my top 10 list of candidates.... - zounami MU - 6/16 15:30:25
                    now it's just targeted coaches? (nm) - 90Tiger MU - 6/16 15:27:45
                         Yes, that's who I was referring to. - Mizzmi27 MU - 6/16 16:19:05
                    The candidates Sterk targeted were all established coaches, - zounami MU - 6/16 15:22:19
                         Pretty vastly different statement, yup (nm) - 90Tiger MU - 6/16 15:28:07
                              Well yes, I did not mean that had we hired one of our - Mizzmi27 MU - 6/16 16:17:53
                                   In that case, I agree with what you meant to say. (nm) - zounami MU - 6/16 16:21:59
               I assume that's the intent if not exactly what he said. - zodiac6 JC - 6/16 15:13:50
     they wanted to be in Columbia and giving their dad a job - Jeff85 MU - 6/16 15:03:01
          They proved they were willing to play elsewhere when they - zounami MU - 6/16 15:07:39
               They left MU only because we were god awful, and they left - Mizzmi27 MU - 6/16 15:21:39
                    and did both Martin and Romar have relationships - 90Tiger MU - 6/16 15:26:05
                         What was Martin's relationship with the Porters? - Mizzmi27 MU - 6/16 16:14:21
                              I'll answer. Sterk made it clear he was willing spend big $$ - zounami MU - 6/16 16:20:05
                                   I said it in response to 90 saying we were "miraculously luc - Mizzmi27 MU - 6/16 16:25:17
                                        We were absolutely lucky to get Cuonzo Martin... - zounami MU - 6/16 16:27:35
                                             I think Sterk would have hired a competent, well liked coach - Mizzmi27 MU - 6/16 16:32:26
               BINGO (nm) - 90Tiger MU - 6/16 15:21:13
     I don't agree with it. The Porters clearly have standards... - zounami MU - 6/16 14:57:44
          Yeah, Romar was a good one...(nm) - Mizzmi27 MU - 6/16 15:14:25

               Most of his seasons were pretty good until the year after - zounami MU - 6/16 15:16:54

                              You have a lot lower standards than I thought you did(nm) - Mizzmi27 MU - 6/16 16:03:18
