I don’t believe any MU head bb coach has ever been fired elsewhere before being hired by MU. In fact Gates is somewhat an anomaly, following the Quin fallout I would argue MU actually self sabotaged to an extent by restricting candidates to only those already coaching at major conference schools when they hired Haith and Cuonzo believing that was an important hiring characteristic. We missed out on a lot of viable assistant coach candidates and coaches at lower level schools in doing so.

In your example it’s not like Tennessee decided to go take Texas’s successful bb coach. He was available because he had just been fired.

     Brian Dutcher would be an example of a successful coach - alstl MU - 3/1 08:39:12
          hope all you fantasy fans are around in couple years to say - fatrat MU - 3/1 09:09:36
               I agree Gates needs time - Genco98 MU - 3/1 09:57:21
          Highly unlikely that Mizzou is looking - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/1 08:59:36
               Point is Dutcher and several others with a better track - alstl MU - 3/1 10:27:50
                    Was Dutcher looking to move? - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/1 10:29:43
                         For $4 million a year he would move(nm) - alstl MU - 3/1 10:31:29
                              Why has no one offered that to him? - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/1 10:40:47
                                   $7 million buyout likely a factor - he was interested in - alstl MU - 3/1 12:28:36
                                        That was 3 years ago - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/1 12:32:03
                                             14-42 in the Big Ten (nm) - alstl MU - 3/1 13:21:08
                                                  Seems to have turned the corner this season (nm) - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/1 13:29:17
                                   This would not be a good spring to be looking to hire - GeorgiaTiger76 MU - 3/1 11:46:16
                                        We could see some movement within the SEC - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/1 11:54:37
     RE: I sincerely hope Gates works out in the long run, but... - Ragarm MU - 3/1 08:18:38
          In replacing Norm we had 4 officially interviewed candidates - FIJItiger MU - 3/1 08:24:19
               Those weren’t that proven at that time - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/1 09:15:16
               Cal is a multiple championship winner? Shirley you jest. - Lovely Rita UW - 3/1 09:01:18
                    I’m including 2008, since his opponent was proven to have - FIJItiger MU - 3/1 09:13:34
                         So they BOTH won ‘08 as Self needs that for HIS “multiple” - Lovely Rita UW - 3/1 09:29:43
                              Self won the game, and per NCAA rules vacated the results - FIJItiger MU - 3/1 09:43:16
                                   Got it. So in YOUR MIND Self didn’t win the 08 game but - Lovely Rita UW - 3/1 09:59:01
     were CMA and HCCM - 90Tiger STL - 3/1 08:04:48
          CMA had been a HC for 4 years. - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/1 08:07:15
               oh, that seems pretty proven (nm) - 90Tiger STL - 3/1 09:08:04
                    And 3 year with 2 conference titles - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/1 09:55:37

     Tennessee hired Barnes after he was fired - FIJItiger MU - 3/1 06:09:33
          Yes and Tennessee had the wisdom - Wibb MU - 3/1 07:41:21
               Nor am I, agreed(nm) - FIJItiger MU - 3/1 07:55:09
          He also went 31-35 his first 2 years at Tenn - MIZtigerZOU MU - 3/1 07:39:33
               Those are records, not how good a coach is - FIJItiger MU - 3/1 07:53:51
                    I wouldn’t call Mizzou ideal when Gates was hired either - MIZtigerZOU MU - 3/1 08:03:42
                         It was not, it was a terrible situation to inherit - FIJItiger MU - 3/1 08:07:47
          Larry Smith in football is an example - Genco98 MU - 3/1 06:46:34
