Missouri basketball coach Frank Haith officially announced the hiring of former Drake coach Mark Phelps as an assistant Tuesday.
Phelps, a graduate of Old Dominion, replaces Rick Carter, who recently left to take a job at Xavier. Phelps is the seventh assistant Haith has hired since he took the MU job in April 2011. Haith hired Carter away from Western Michigan last summer when Ryan Miller left to become associate head coach at Auburn after spending less than three months on the staff.
