Missouri and new men’s basketball coach Cuonzo Martin are married to each other for the foreseeable future based on the terms of a seven-year, $21 million deal, which were revealed Monday with the release of a memorandum of understanding.
There’s virtually no escape for either side during the first four years.
Contractually, the Tigers can’t fire Martin, who was hired Wednesday and formally introduced Monday during a press conference at Mizzou Arena, without cause until May 1, 2020.
That late-spring timing all but ensures Mizzou will ride with Martin through at least 2020-21, especially since he’s owed a $6 million buyout from May 1, 2020, until April 30, 2021.
