Haith just finished his third season at Missouri in which it missed the NCAA tournament despite a talented roster. His is also one of the Mizzou athletic programs that has suffered off-the-playing-surface problems lately with the arrest and dismissal of Louisville transfer Zach Price.
Haith is believed to have 3 years left on his contract at Mizzou, at $1.5-million a year. CBSSports.com cites sources as saying Tulsa is willing to pay him more than $1-million.
