Mike Anderson > Norm Stewart... By a 100 miles, not even close...

I'm pretty high on Mike Anderson right now, but Norm put this team on the map. You have got to consider what Norm did for this program. MU was mediocre to bad for many years - for most of their history in fact. Norm came in and turned things around. He put together a consistent winner and built a program that could lure upper level talent. Norm's two faults that I could see were his conservative play that led to loses in the big dance and he usually had a down year or two every 3-4 years - almost like they didn't work as hard at recruiting when they had talent.
That said, today Anderson got his 30th W - something Norm never did. IMO from this day forward, Anderson walks in his own shoes, Norm's are put away for good. But, before I say Anderson is WAY better than Norm, Anderson needs to put a bunch of winning seasons together at MU and take MU to and keep them at a higher level of success than Norm ever did.
I'm just SOOOO thankful that Anderson has turned out to be one that we compare to Norm and not one we compare with Quin.
