FAYETTEVILLE -- Good thing for Norm DeBriyn that he will retire Jan. 6.
Knowing DeBriyn, he'll need a full four months of retirement into the spring just to unwind from the stress he will put on himself starting Sept. 1 as interim executive director of the Razorback Foundation.
Whether coaching or administrating, nobody at the University of Arkansas ever ached to do better than Norm DeBriyn nor literally aches like DeBriyn for others' pain along the way.
Some players that DeBriyn had to cut to get his Razorbacks baseball rosters down to the required size related tales that by the end of the process they felt sorrier for their coach's anguish than their own.
