FAYETTEVILLE — As brothers do, Justin and Gus Argenal fought every so often.
Justin, now the head basketball coach at his alma mater De La Salle High School in Concord, Calif., roughly 30 minutes northeast of Oakland, held different interests than his older brother growing up. Gus, though, was hyper-focused on basketball. He couldn’t get enough.
Even in the seventh and eighth grade, Arkansas basketball’s newest assistant coach was driven to improve as a player and meticulous with his workouts. Gus wanted his brother to rebound for him. It was a routine request.
But there was more, and a catch involved.
