I heard from two sources, one closely connected to the athletic department at Purdue University, the other closely connected to Mizzou athletics and both have said Matt Painter will be the next men’s basketball coach for Missouri.
Painter is on his way back to Indiana from his family vacation in Florida, where he will tell his players, then he will leave for Missouri this afternoon.
A press conference to announce Painter at Missouri could happen as early as this afternoon. No official announcement has come from either school.
