Why those Cuonzo Martin-Barry Odom comparisons don't hold water

Are Mizzou basketball fans the equivalent of Tennessee football fans as far as patience and expectations? We offer some perspective in our weekly chat with readers.

Q: I can’t help but compare the careers of Odom and Cuonzo while at Mizzou. Both took over programs that were going through very difficult times and helped right the ship. In four years, both have had about the same winning percentage. Neither had much success with recruiting or in the post season (thus far). Odom gets fired after his fourth season, while there is talks about extending Cuonzo after this season.
