mglassma asks: If you had to put odds on whether or not you are covering a basketball head coaching search after this season how would you handicap it?
GD: I've got to give you guys credit. You really only have one basketball related question, but you do find a number of different ways to phrase it.
Cuonzo Martin might get fired--or resign or mutually agree to part ways or whatever the phrase of the day is these days--after this season. If you don't acknowledge that possibility you're burying your head in the sand. There are also 23 games left to play and a lot of things that can happen between now and then. I don't even know what I'm having for lunch, much less what Missouri will do with its basketball coach in three-and-a-half months.
So as not to be accused of dodging your question, it's 50/50 for me.
Sphrimply Pebbles asks: To the best of your ability, can you describe what 24 hours in the life of an Athletic Director at Mizzou looks like? If easier and/or more valuable, you can use any timeframe (week, weekend, etc).
GD: Honestly, not really. I think, like any job in sports, there's not really any such thing as a "typical" day. Some days are game days, some might involve a booster club meeting, some everything can be done from the office by phone or computer. I guess when I think about it, that's a question I've never really asked any of the ADs I've covered here. It's a good question and one that would probably interest people here. We all judge ADs on who they hire and how the teams perform and ultimately, that's the most important measure, but at the same time, I'm not sure how many of us really know what an AD does or what makes one good or bad.
