I set out to find more. What I found was frightening. The profile that emerged on Haith goes like this: Poor tactician. Poor game manager. Doesn't develop players. Nice guy. Solid recruiter. Needs to hire and Xs and Os assistant. (Which reportedly will turn out to be former Oklahoma coach Jeff Capel.)
...
When Haith was hired, I let my emotions get the better of me, and I went onto Facebook, where I am linked up with a lot of other Mizzou types, and wrote that I would have been less irritated had Alden re-hired Snyder. Here's the scary part: Several days later, with my emotions calm and my reason firing on all cylinders, I still believe the same thing.

Nice article.
Outside of identifying Denis Clemente as a lefty(?) I can’t find much fault with Doolittle’s conclusions. If Haith doesn’t have a good year with the returning talent at MU, he and Alden will be on a hot seat very quickly. One of the strangest hires I’ve seen in college b-ball.
Yeah, I found it very interesting.
I’ve read a lot of the stuff posted at RockMNaiton about it and they’ve done a great job of talking themselves into the hire, something they have to do now. This was the exact opposite and (as a KU guy) very enjoyable.
Glad I came, just wish I hadn't stayed so long.

He really won’t have all that much to work with
