It's official, so let's take a very 2014 look at Haith's departure
It's official: Tulsa held a press conference Friday to introduce Frank Haith as the Golden Hurricane's new head basketball coach, replacing Danny Manning, who had left for Wake Forest.
Considering that Haith informed his boss, Missouri athletic director Mike Alden, via text message Friday morning that he was resigning -- and used the same medium to tell his players -- it's only fitting that we explore social media for the latest reaction.
Here are some of the top tweets from around the land about Haith's decision to leave, his press conference at Tulsa and the whole matter of resignation by text.
@MarkPancratz @John_BriceVQ Haith is French for "no class"

Haith mentions uptempo pick and roll O, talks about maybe playing zone D (doesn't mention they didn't play defense at MU). #sorrycheapshot

This next #Mizzou basketball hire is crucial. Mike Anderson and Frank Haith got the program back rolling in the right direction.
