Anthony Peeler won’t lie. He sees Fred Hoiberg, back home at Iowa State, winning Big 12 tournaments, steering the Cyclones to the Sweet 16. He sees Kevin Ollie, back home at UConn, hoisting the national championship trophy, basking in the bright lights of the NCAA’s biggest stage.
And he gets a little misty for Columbia.
Check that.
A lot misty.
"Yeah, I would love it," the former Missouri basketball star tells FOXSportsKansasCity.com. "It would be great (to be back there), because we learned so much.
The Kansas City native and former Paseo High great says he’s cutting ties with Virginia Union University, where he’d been an assistant basketball coach for the last six years and change, and planning a move back to his roots, back to Missouri.
"I would work with anyone," he says. "I just want to teach.
"That’s the main thing. Once you can’t run around anymore, if you want to tell your secrets, (then) you coach. That’s what I’m into: To help young people succeed."
The Tigers alum had thrown his hat in the ring for the head coaching job at Virginia Union when Luqman Jaaber was let go in March; the gig ultimately went to Tony Sheals, formerly of Saint Augustine’s University. That was the impetus for Peeler to move on, ending a relationship that dated to his final season in the NBA, as a member of the Washington Wizards, in the winter of 2004-05.
"I’m looking forward to more of a challenge. I’m done with Virginia Union, so I’m ready for another chapter."
