COLUMBIA, Mo. — The Missouri men’s basketball coaching staff is getting some reinforcements in a key developmental area.
Coach Dennis Gates has hired Rob Summers as an assistant coach who will focus on helping the program’s frontcourt players.
The Tigers head coach will reunite with one of his assistants from the successful tenure at Cleveland State that preceded his time at Mizzou. He joins Ryan Sharbaugh and Matt Cline as former Cleveland State assistants and staffers now with MU.
Summers, who has been coaching at Miami (Ohio) University, will fill the assistant coach position previously occupied by David “Dickey” Nutt.
