Missouri chose a familiar face as its new men's basketball coach Monday. Kim Anderson is a former star player and longtime aide to former Missouri coach Norm Stewart.
He won a Division II championship at Central Missouri this season and replaces Frank Haith, who left for Tulsa earlier this month. A news conference to introduce Anderson was set for Tuesday morning.
The 58-year-old Anderson was the NABC national coach of the year this season after going 30-5, molding a roster that had just one returning player who averaged more than 4.7 points per game.
