good read by Jeff Pearlman on where Quin Snyder is now

Despite what he says in the interview, I dont think it will be very long before we see him back coaching as an assistant somewhere.

i will read the article

I'll also note that I go into the article thinking very poorly of him as a coach. Know nothing about him as a person, but his Mizzou teams stunk. Seems like there was a 2-3 year stretch when his teams were preseason top 5 or top 10 and didnt even make the NIT. A lot better dressed and less perspiration than Sean Sutton, but I think both of them do a terrible job projecting calmness, control, authority, etc in tense situations around the kids.

Now, I read.

Elson Floyd & wife Carmento....

In January 2003, point guard Ricky Clemons was arrested on charges of assault and battery and false arrest against his former girlfriend. While in jail, Clemons accused other players of receiving payments from Snyder's assistant coaches, Lane Odom and Tony Harvey, allegations that were dismissed by the NCAA after its investigation. It was later found out that Clemons' academic bona fides (he had transferred from Barton County Community College in Kansas) were suspect, that he had been spotted while on bail riding ATVs with then-university president Elson Floyd, and that Floyd's wife Carmento had engaged in a phone call where she advised Clemons to "stay away from them crackers", referencing his (white) girlfriend.

.
....cut the knees out from under Q.Snyder. While the racists tried to coddle the criminal Ricky Clemons, watched as Clemons' criminal element took the program down the drain.

My last year in Austin...

2000-2001, I went to almost every home game at the Erwin Center. The Missouri game that year was fun - I was heckling Snyder as much as anyone, but I never really had anything against the guy. He's from Duke and has two post-grad degrees, likes to try to look good - but what is the reason to disparage him? Good for him if he is happy where he is. Money and fame are one thing, but no guarantee of satisfaction.

Also, who was the Tiger player that year with the long, greasy hair - he shot an air ball and we were all chanting "hair ball."
