It’s can he put a defense on the court that’s good enough to make a deep run?

He’s starting to bring in the level of talent needed to compete in the SEC. He’s already proven to be one of the better offensive coaches in college basketball.

great to win the recruiting national championship but ShowMe - TigerFan92 STL - 9/9 11:22:29

Mizzou is among the top in the SEC at retaining players (nm) - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/9 11:24:43

Calm down. Gates is 21-33 in SEC play. Long way to go. Nm - ClassicTiger MU - 9/9 01:16:01

Including an 0-18 season? - Gavin Citrus MU - 9/9 09:59:58

When I watch Gates coach, 0-18 is mainly what I think about - ClassicTiger MU - 9/9 12:46:16

Doesn't necessarily surprise me - Gavin Citrus MU - 9/9 13:39:23

Actually it is permanently in the books, a historical legacy - MIZ-STL-ZOU MU - 9/9 10:27:42

It's not going to be used to determine his firing - Gavin Citrus MU - 9/9 12:36:13

We were top 5 last year but they didn't play(nm) - alstl MU - 9/8 18:22:17

Burns is the only one that didn’t play(nm) - MidMoBaller4Life BSU - 9/8 18:49:34

Minutes - alstl MU - 9/9 07:46:40

Which freshman should have played more? - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/9 07:50:59

you're making his point, nimrod (nm) - 90Tiger STL - 9/9 08:25:47

You make my point - getting excited about freshmen recruits - alstl MU - 9/9 07:54:50

Most freshmen aren’t ready to contribute - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/9 07:58:03

you again just made his point - 90Tiger STL - 9/9 08:26:15

Name the 2026 tranfers we are bringing in(nm) - alstl MU - 9/9 08:21:32

It doesn’t matter. The elite freshmen will play - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/9 09:56:45

Boateng was # 26 - #11 minutes played - Bryant #23 - alstl MU - 9/9 12:10:57

Boateng missed almost all of the preseason with a knee - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/9 12:33:01

That doesn't matter. Top 5 recruits play big minutes - Gavin Citrus MU - 9/9 09:27:16

Gates has never done that - at Cleveland State his final - alstl MU - 9/9 12:19:56

True he’s never had elite freshmen - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/9 12:34:18

He signed zero freshmen in his final year at Cleveland St - alstl MU - 9/9 12:51:00

He’s signed 10 freshmen in 3 classes at Mizzou - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/9 13:09:57

This is correct. Elite freshmen play - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/9 09:41:43

RE: To all the haters that demanded that Gates be fired - bstiger MU - 9/8 18:04:50

I doubt it. Almost no schools fire after two years - Gavin Citrus MU - 9/9 10:01:40

Missouri was incredibly generous in not doing that (nm) - Ohtiger MU - 9/8 19:19:31

He's matched Norm in F4s in just 3 yrs. - Sigma MU - 9/8 17:48:26

But not holiday tournament championships - FIJItiger MU

- 9/9 06:24:21

2 NCAAs in 3 yrs. Zero F4s & TB acts as if the history is - Sigma MU - 9/9 14:14:36

- 9/9 15:33:49

also lost to worse seeds in his tourney appearances (nm) - TigerA MU - 9/8 15:20:44
