Steve Alford denies contact with Missouri

Alford says "no contact" with Missouri | Campus Corner

How can anyone believe this? Like it was said in the article, Lon Kruger said he wasn't going to OU, then a couple hours later, he was going to OU.

didn't read the article, but here is my guess. he hasn't contacted missouri, and missouri hasn't contacted him. but that does not rule out his agent or representative of from doing same. just a game of semantics.

Yep....same thing happened when he was at Iowa and Mizzou was looking for a coach.

“I don't appreciate the report of rumors, and speculation,â€￾ New Mexico coach Steve Alford told the station. “The fact is, there is nothing going on between me and Missouri.
“Things like this only hurt recruiting.
“Neither me nor my agent have spoken to one person at Missouri.â€￾

This is true. In fact, his agent has spoken to multiple, not just one, person from missouri.

I think I've seen this song & dance before......:biglaugh:

I would love it one time if the question to him was "has any of your representatives been in contact with anybody about the Missouri job"....instead of lobbing in the easy question of "have you been in contact with Missouri about their job".

I had to see what the "bag man" is up to today and I wasn't suprised. LOL.

Whats the story?

Whats the story?

Absolutely worth a listen in the Iowa Everything podcast. Miller had a source that the Alford camp reached out to Mizzou and he kind of reported it. After the story came out, he said the Iowa staff basically met with him in a room he didn't know existed at CHA and tried to intimidate him. Not physically but very, very awkward sounding.

My brother & his family lived in Iowa City for years (has since moved to KC area). His son, aged 10 at the time, went to a Steve Alford basketball camp. He wore a North Carolina Jersey (Jordan's number, I believe) on the first day. Almost immediately, Alford and his helpers targeted him, telling him that what he was wearing was shameful and would need to be put on the "wall of shame." They took the jersey and gave him something "Iowa" to wear for the rest of the day. He got his original jersey back before he left - and then never returned for the remainder of the camp. My brother and sister-in-law are both ISU grads & her dad is a former U of I Big 10 CC champion and engineering professor (one of the greatest & most charitable guys you'd want to know BTW). To say that that incident did NOT sit well with the entire family would be a huge understatement.

I can only hope it was the Athletes in Action group just to bring this full circle.
