ST. LOUIS (AP) – Missouri needs to go to its backup plan in its coaching search after Matt Painter’s decision to stay at Purdue.
Mike Anderson left the Tigers last week to take the job at Arkansas.
Missouri had offered a package worth about $2 million to keep Anderson and to lure Painter, the three-time Big Ten coach of the year, who ended up with an eight-year extension to stay put in West Lafayette, Ind.
Despite losing out on Painter, Missouri remains an attractive job.
