Arkansas’s FAYETTEVILLE Eric Musselman, the coach, exceeded all expectations. After missing the second round of the NCAA
Tournament for 25 years, three consecutive Sweet 16 appearances and two visits to the Elite Eight are beyond anyone’s wildest
expectations. Musselman’s most difficult task to date is to turn a squad that is totally out of sync into a lineup that plays like it was
coached by him.
He is turning to history. His former followers took the bait and propelled the Head Hog and the initiative to widespread recognition.
In the previous 24 to 48 hours, several former athletes have texted me to say, “Hey coach, been there.” Work things out,” Musselman
remarked. “So that’s what we’re trying to do.”
The past players that never gave up, took pleasure in their defense, and showed battle
“We’ve got guys playing NBA games and then texting after a game,” added Musselman. “People are keeping track of the results abroad.
Guys are texting while playing in the G League. It wasn’t simply one or two texts that I received. Many of the previous players who
played here but whom I never coached are sending encouraging texts.”
Anything may collapse just as fast as it can be constructed. However, Musselman’s achievement cannot be taken away from him.
In collegiate basketball, bad seasons do occur. Not every roster will have three NBA Draft selections, but there shouldn’t be any excuse
for the Hogs to play badly and sloppily. Pride should at least remedy that. A program full of pride
To Musselman, it means a great deal. “I hope it means at least a little something to the guys on the roster to know that their former
teammates built something and take pride in what they built.”
Wednesday night at 8 p.m., the Hogs go to Georgia in an attempt to regain dignity. ESPNU and FuboTV will also broadcast the game.
