Whitten Family Men’s Basketball Head Coach Dennis Gates!
Today, of course, is the day that we expect Gates to be officially enshrined as the 20th head coach in Mizzou Men’s Basketball history. Early yesterday morning, a Board of Curators session was called for later this morning, a step that must occur so that the curators can ratify the terms of an important contract. That contract, of course, evidently belongs to Mr. Gates, who (allegedly) arrived late yesterday morning at Columbia Regional Airport.
Today will likely be a day of fanfare and pressers and quotes, so this is our last chance to soak in some of the analysis that comes with a coaching hire before said hire is stamped and approved.
