Missouri Tigers Reportedly Hire Tim Fuller First Basketball General Manager

The University of Missouri men's basketball program has appointed Tim Fuller as its first-ever general manager, marking a significant evolution in the team's operational structure. Fuller, who previously served as an assistant coach and interim head coach for the Tigers from 2011 to 2015, brings extensive experience from both coaching and executive roles, including positions at Nike and Overtime Elite. His new role will focus on strategic planning, roster construction, recruitment, NIL (Name, Image, Likeness) optimization, and agent relations, reflecting the changing landscape of college basketball. Fuller led the Tigers to a 5-0 record as interim coach during the 2013-14 season and has been recognized by ESPN as one of the top assistant coaches under 40. His recent work at Providence under former Missouri player Kim English involved NIL and recruiting strategies, which he is expected to leverage in his new position. The hire is seen as a move to modernize the program and enhance its competitiveness in recruiting and player development.
