Missouri comes to USI after two seasons at Frank Phillips College (Borger, Texas), where he spent one season as the acting head coach (2023-24) and one season as the associate head coach (2024-25).

Before his two seasons at Frank Phillips, Missouri had a stint as a head coach at Prestige Prep Academy (Fort Lauderdale, FL) and Miami Prep Academy (Miami, FL).

Missouri had entered the prep school ranks following a year as an assistant men’s basketball coach at Miami Dade College (2020-21) and a pair of seasons with Alabama State University (2018-20). He helped lead Alabama State to the SWAC Tournament Semifinal in 2019.

Among his 17 years in collegiate athletics, Missouri has spent six of those years on men’s basketball staffs in the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC), including on some of the most successful teams in recent years.

Prior to his time at Alabama State, Missouri served as the video coordinator (2014-17) for three seasons and special assistant to the head coach (2017-18) for one season at Texas Southern University. He was part of six SWAC Championships, sweeping the regular season and tournament titles in 2014-15 and 2016-17 with a regular season title in 2015-16 and a tournament championship in 2017-18.

Of the three NCAA Tournament berths for the TSU Tigers, Texas Southern’s trip in 2017-18 resulted in a First Four win over the University of North Carolina Central.

Missouri also spent three years as an assistant coach at California State University Bakersfield (2011-14) and a graduate assistant at the University of Alabama-Birmingham (2008-11). During his tenure at UAB, the Blazers had three-straight seasons of better than 20 wins, a pair of NIT appearances (2009, 2010), and a trip to the NCAA Tournament in 2011.

Before his coaching career, Missouri played at Pasadena City College (1999-2000) before transferring to Fresno State (2001-02). He received his associate’s degree from Ventura College in Business Management, bachelor’s degree in organizational management from Patten University, and master’s degree in public administration from TSU.
