First, this isn't a deep dive. I haven't dug through every single one these coach's resumes. I haven't looked extensively at what they run on each end of the floor. For some, though, I have. But given that it's unlikely Sterk fires Kim right now, there's no need to really do extensive write-ups. I'm just going to give you some names of dudes I'm following. They're also broken into tiers, not rankings.

The chances are slim, and probably none, that these guys will be seriously interested. But you do due diligence to check them off.
Mizzou won't be the only one looking at these guys. Yes, some have recently inked extensions. Others are young. Or they've only been on the job a couple years. But if you take a look at them, you'll see stuff to like.
The market isn't really ripe with guys I'd give another shot, but two names really jump out at me. (Seriously, Musselman might be a tad risky, but look at his pedigree.)
These are coaches that are at low-majors or in mediocre mid-major leagues. Or they're up-and-comers who may need one more strop. Basically, you're betting on stock way early.
You may dismiss these out of hand, but, again, look at their backgrounds and what they've done. Maybe they're at an elite academic institution. Maybe they've largely worked in one region of the country. Maybe they're older and comfortable. That doesn't mean you don't check.
