Former Mizzou Hoops coach finishes third in NBA Coach of the Year

For the second time this offseason, a former Mizzou Tiger has been snubbed for an individual postseason award because of a New York Knick.

While Jordan Clarkson started Mizzou’s offseason off strong by winning Sixth Man of the Year, some thought Mizzou could get a clean sweep by landing Michael Porter, Jr. as the Most Improved and Quin Snyder as Coach of the Year. Well, the former was beaten out by Julius Randle of the New York Knicks while the latter learned today that he was beaten out by Tom Thibodeau... also of the New York Knicks.

Legendary company.
