    Meanwhile, Missouri will resume its search to replace Anderson, who a week ago announced he was accepting the same position at Arkansas.

    That search has been focused squarely on Painter for the past week. Some potential targets include Virginia Commonwealth Coach Shaka Smart, Xavier Coach Chris Mack or Northern Iowa Coach Ben Jacobson. Smart is still coaching the Rams in the Final Four after being one of the last four teams selected for the 68-team NCAA Tournament field. Mack reportedly has already turned down an eight-year, $16 million contract from Tennessee to remain at Xavier, CBSSports.com reported last week.

      On the radio this past weekend, they mentioned that VCU's facilities and program infrastructure are pretty far behind other upper level mid major programs, using Butler as a comparison. Shaka Smart may be tempted to walk based on that, and that the school would really have to pony up to keep him, perhaps unrealistically.

        Jake has it much better at UNI than he ever would at that sorry program in Missouri. Terry Allen had a great coaching gig going at UNI and he got burned for taking a step to a "bigger" program. Bigger is not always better.

          Did Shaka recruit any of VCUs players? I thought I'd hears he hadn't. If I were a program I wouldn't take that chance.

            Frank Haith (Miami HC) to Mizzou?

            If true, horrible hire IMO. haha I would be irate if I were a Mizzou fan.

            If this happens, I wonder if Frank Martin will head to Miami. Definitely a possiblity.

              Looks like Frank Haith from Miami is going to coach Mizzou. We can all breath easy . . . even though I wasn't really worried anyways.

                Why would Painter want to go to Missouri? Does he have ties there? To me, Purdue would be a much more attractive gig than Missouri. I was confused about why his name was being mentioned as aggressively as it was.

                  I believe that Painter was frustrated with relatively "low pay", and possibly facilities.

                    Probably just a bargaining chip to get more money at Purdue...well guess what, it worked.

                      Well...Jacobson isn't going to Mizzou, but he's helping out Southern Mizzou. Very classy coach we have (see link). Lusk is a good one too. Very neat deal they are doing at MSU with Joplin.

                        Hasn't even played UNI yet and Lusk is my 2nd favorite MVC coach...not that it's really tough to beat out guys like Marshall, Lowery and Mc$ but still. Good to see some real philanthropy and humility in college basketball

                            I saw that last night PTTB, thanks for sharing. I didn't have time to put it up. We have a damn good coach who wants loyalty and commitment, when you have those things, winning is almost second nature.

                              What an awesome guy. I'm with you casbern, you'd be crazy to not want this guy as your coach and you'd be crazy to not be proud of him. His character is outstanding...but its not like this is news to any of us
