Missouri men's basketball assistant coach Corey Tate will leave the Tigers for an assistant position at Saint Louis University. It was announced by SLU Friday that he will take a job under Billiken head coach Travis Ford.
Tate, who was hired in June 2015, to replace former Missouri assistant coach Tim Fuller, played for former Missouri coach Norm Stewart from 1994–97 and came to Missouri from Mineral Area College, where he was the head coach for 11 seasons.
“Congratulations to Corey Tate on his move back to the St. Louis area, where his family has continued to live during his time on the Mizzou Basketball coaching staff,” Missouri coach Kim Anderson said in a statement on Friday.
