Amazingly they have two hires that offseason actually graded worse than ours, even including the justifying phrase of 'because things could have been worse'.

California: Cuonzo Martin
Grade: B
One NCAA Tournament appearance (as a 4 seed) combined with a 62-39 record. He also did solid work on the recruiting trail, helping bring in Ivan Rabb and Jaylen Brown, both of whom were five-star prospects. Cal was steady, but not spectacular, under Martin. That's worth a "B." Martin was at Berkeley for three seasons until he had offer to return home to Missouri to coach the Tigers.
Tulsa: Frank Haith
Grade: B-plus
The Golden Hurricane are 77-52 overall and 46-26 in the American Athletic Conference. Tulsa's a hard one to evaluate here, honestly. The team made the NCAAs in 2016, in that shocking at-large inclusion that, really, no one outside of the program, the AAC and the selection committee believes was justifiable. But the facts are there: Haith has a tourney trip at Tulsa in his time there. Overall, the program's been on good footing but hasn't earned the type of non-con victories to bring more relevance.
Missouri: Kim Anderson
Grade: D
A three-year experience that ended with a 27-68 mark for Anderson. It's the worst three-year stretch from a win percentage perspective in Missouri's 111-year history. The Tigers sunk to the bottom of the SEC and were at their most irrelevant. Anderson was hired after Frank Haith's exodus to Tulsa. It was never a match from the start, but I can't be as harsh with an "F" or even "D-minus," because things could have been worse.
