FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas assistant coach TJ Cleveland refuted speculation Monday about his interest in the head coaching job at North Alabama.
"I'm not a candidate at North AL," Cleveland wrote on his Twitter account Monday, two days after the coaching tracker website HoopDirt.com listed him as one of seven candidates for the vacancy.
Cleveland, 37, just finished his seventh season as an assistant coach at Arkansas, his alma mater. Cleveland was a guard for the Razorbacks from 1998-2002.
The nephew of Arkansas coach Mike Anderson, Cleveland has worked on Anderson's staffs at Alabama-Birmingham, Missouri or Arkansas each season since 2002.
