This morning, the UM System Board of Curators approved Dennis Gates as the 20th head coach of our Mizzou Men’s Basketball team.

Coach Gates’ track record of success at Cleveland State proves he has the tenacity to drive a winning team while also supporting his players. Our student-athletes, campus community and Tiger fans everywhere are ready for his bold leadership on and off the court.

AD Reed-Francois has set an expectation of excellence for all of Mizzou Athletics. I know Coach Gates will help us further usher in a results-driven, winning culture and take Mizzou basketball to the next level.

Welcome, Coach Gates. We’re glad to have you as a Tiger. M-I-Z!
