KANSAS CITY - Mizzou Men's Basketball head coach Kim Anderson was inducted into the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association (MIAA) Hall of Fame at the organization's annual awards celebration at the Kansas City Plaza Library on Wednesday, June 3. 

Anderson turned the NCAA Division II Mules into a juggernaut during his 12-year stint in Warrensburg, Mo., leading UCM to three Final Four appearances and the 2014 NCAA National Championship.

"It is a tremendous honor, and a great addition to the many great memories those Central Missouri teams made in Warrensburg," Anderson said. "The Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association had some of the most competitive basketball in the country throughout my tenure as head coach. It is special to think so many of those UCM teams did so well in that conference. I accept this honor on behalf of the many great student-athletes who came through Central Missouri." 

Central Missouri advanced to seven NCAA Tournaments during Anderson's tenure and compiled an outstanding 274-95 (.743) record, a mark that ranks the current Tiger leader as one of the Top 10 winningest coaches in Division II history.

The Mules often controlled the MIAA under Anderson's watch, winning or sharing six regular season conference titles. Anderson led the Mules to three 30-win seasons, the only 30-win seasons in school history. Along with the league titles, UCM finished among the MIAA's top three in the conference standings nine times over his final 10 seasons leading the program.

Anderson started his dominating run at UCM after spending 11 seasons assisting legendary Tiger head coach Norm Stewart during two separate stints (1982-85, 1991-99) in Columbia.
