Barry Hinson exudes class and dignity. Despite being fired last month, he attended the Missouri State basketball postseason banquet to hand out the team awards to his players.

I think MSU will rue the day when they fired Behruh. He is a class act and I wish all the best for him.

MR, I am not sure even class act is good enough to describe Coach Hinson-he is a remarkable man and I agree that there will come a day when all those w/ lots of money down there will realize what they hadOriginally posted by Mike Radigan View Post

Which is far more than I can say for Keno Davis, who didn't even bother showing up to Drake's postseason banquet. I don't begrudge him for taking the job at Providence at all, but I do have an issue with skipping the postseason banquet for the kids who just made you a millionaire.Onward and Upward!

I have always liked Hinson, and was always a treat listening to his interviews... MSU will definitely regret the decision if Martin can't turn the team around or has any disciplinary problems...I hope that BH gets an opportunity soon.Comment

Another article about Barry Hinson- He congratulated new coach Cuonzo Martin and offered to help him in any way he could.--

I find this as no surprize, as this guy is a class act. I think this is not only a MSU lost but also to the MVC. I'm hoping he stays in the MVC in any capacity. What a Shame!! In a world where young men need so much guidness and leadership MSV lets one of the best go!!Originally posted by Da Coach View PostComment

I share your opinions about Hinson being a good guy, but I disagree with many people's opinion about his firing. Hinson had some really outstanding teams and failed to make the NCAA tourney. He also had two big wins in his regular season career: a neutral court win over Wisconsin and a final Hammons Student Center win over Drake. That is 2 games in nine years. Yes he could win the games he was supposed to but had trouble with the big one.
In the two seasons he was "snubbed" he didn't win a coference game vs. the #1 or #2 team in the Valley which made his resume very weak when the Valley was getting multiple bids.
Is Hinson maybe the unluckiest coach in NCAA history, maybe, but he had several chances to push his team over the hump and, quite frankly, he didn't get it done.
I love to research the history of the MVC, and the Bears are an interesting team to look back at. EVERY coach in their MVC program history won 20 games at least once. They have a great history and their fan base grew tired of Hinson attending media luncheons in North Carolina while Jim Les and Chris Lowery were at AAU tourneys recruiting.
In Hinson's nine years at MSU, he owns three of MSU's worst season records. I don't blame them for not settling. I wish them good luck.Comment

When Mo State got "snubbed" with an RPI of 21 in 2006, they finished in a tie for 2nd place with both SIU and Creighton. The Bears beat both SIU and Creighton that season. ( I believe for seeding of the MVC tourney, SIU was #2, Mo State was #3 and Creighton was #4)
They did lose to first place Wichita State twice though. So you had the #1 part right.
And that year they had 4 wins against the top 50, which was much better than Texas A&M's or UAB's or even Utah's State's 1 win against the top 50 or Arizona's 2.Comment

You think Anthony Slack thinks highly of Coach Hinson? Would he have nice compliments for Berruh? hahahahahDinma Odiakosa 6'8 255......The Nigerian Nightmare!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 37 points and 27 boards in 2 wins over Bradley. "Will Egolf is 6'9 and he had 4 rebounds. That's not good enough and he's not good enough"....Dick Versace 2/9/10Comment
