The University of Missouri has given permission for basketball
coach Mike Anderson to speak with Oregon about a head coaching job
with the Ducks.
Missouri spokesman David Reiter says permission was given
Thursday night. Anderson is in El Paso, Texas, to play in a charity
golf tournament run by his former mentor, Nolan Richardson.
Reiter told The Associated Press he expects Anderson to make
some kind of statement later Friday. He says it's fairly routine
for the university to give permission to another school to talk
with one of its coaches.
Anderson coached the Tigers to a school record 31 wins in the
2008-09 season. He was given a seven-year contract extension after
leading the team to the regional finals in the NCAA tournament.
