SPRINGFIELD, Mo. — After an extensive national search, Missouri State University has selected Cuonzo (CON-zoe) Martin as its next men’s basketball head coach. The man who orchestrated Missouri State’s only Missouri Valley Conference regular-season championship run during his first tenure in Springfield will be formally re-introduced to Bears fans during a news conference on Monday.
Martin, who coached at Missouri State from 2008 to 2011, owns a 264-198 (.587) career record in 14 seasons as a Division I head coach at MSU, Tennessee, California and Missouri. His teams have made nine postseason appearances in that span, including four trips to the NCAA Tournament, four appearances in the NIT, and a CIT title with the Bears in 2010.
