True, but it may have played a factor in his not giving the mother ship the time of day when they were in the market for a coach.

Xcma is struggling to get the culture at Arkansas shifted back to basketball and can't get the players for his system like he could at uab and Missouri

You don't need to talk to a family friend to know that.

We can continue the "Who will replace Hoopy Saga" in the recruiting forum.

That is a common problem for every BBHC (except maybe for UKY) in the "Football crazy" SEC. When I was at Bama in the 1960s, the BBHC was still an assistant FBAC (Hayden Riley) who liked BB. It was a few years later that Bryant brought in C.M. Newton as a real BB coach (UA President Frank Rose knew him while both were at Transylvania State College) with a BB only staff (John Bostick and "Wimp" Sanderson).
