COMBINED.

If by "COMBINED" you mean "with all their shoelaces tied together", then yes.

He micromanages / meddles way too much for most coaches to put up with it.

Probably drawback from the way he handled the Quin situation.

Apparently he doesn't know how to fun a defense either

He micromanages and meddles BECAUSE of the Quin situation. He was very hands-off before that.

But yes, I have heard the same thing. Coaches do not love the idea of working for Alden. Too many handcuffs.

That's what I meant -

So - if I think about it - if Haith tanks, don't you basically HAVE to fire Alden?

He would have bothced TWO head basketball coaching hires, with a third being marginal (Anderson).

Most AD's don't get the change to hire their THIRD basketball coach, much les their FOURTH.

I think Alden has a job at Missouri for as long as he wants it.

Best bet would be for him to get a job in the NCAA office. That seems to be his end-goal.

His success in other areas - fundraising, football, non-revenue sports - probably earns him another pass at a basketball coach. Especially since his last two hires took Missouri to an Elite 8 and stabilized the program and also won a coach of the year award.

Alden has a lot of capital after the SEC East title. Had we won seven games this year, then his seat might be getting somewhat warm. I have no faith in his ability to hire a good basketball coach. The Anderson hire was not a disaster, but it wasn't a good one either. Haith is shaping up to be the worst of the bunch--not many are actually surprised by that.

My opinion of Alden would actually improve if he'd just shitcan Haith right now. I don't want to give him any more of an opportunity to crater the program.

I would agree.

Unfortunately, my impression of Alden is that he's basically a coward, with little to no common sense but also has an inflated sense of self importance.

He's all over a piddley issue such as the Antler's behavior, but then is "unavailable for comment" when ESPN runs a piece about a rape coverup within the athletic department.

To me, that's a complete misplacement of priorities and essentially makes me think he's a giant p#ssy.

You've hit on a lot of the problems with Alden. He just basically chooses wrong at almost all times.

Way too obsessed with being "classy."

Well, he's perfect for an NCAA position then.

[WhawhaWhat]

Is Alden at all handcuffed by someone with or associated with ($$$) the program, specifically basketball? After the Quin days and Ricky Clemons, it seems like they are way too concerned about being perfect in a sport that has A TON of shady elements surrounding it.

I can't bring myself to watch this crap team tonight, I'll just chalk this up as an L. **** Alden and **** Haith.

[GloryDayz]

Alden is going to jack this up. Except to awesome coaches, he's a hell of a salesman. I hope he's enjoying all the coverage KU's getting right now, he'll never get there in basketball... I'll bet he's counting the hours until football starts...
