"We were in Kansas City for the CBE Classic, and we beat Cal and Notre Dame," Haith said. "We changed things, and I think you have to have success to make change. We saw success, and those guys started to buy in. And it was all because of the leadership on the team."
Haith was hired at Missouri with the knowledge the program he was leaving was under NCAA investigation for possible rules violations.
"I think we, the Mizzou Nation and my family, all will be happy when it's all over with, but we can't control the NCAA and the time frame in which they work," he said.
He was asked if he was confident the investigation would come up empty.
"Absolutely," he said.
