Honoring Richardson still a great debate

It is a subject that comes up from time to time, and it came up at dinner with Hunter Yurachek less than a month after he became the University of Arkansas athletic director.

Before a basketball game last season, a sportscaster broached the subject of naming the basketball court in Bud Walton Arena after Nolan Richardson.

On any given day on 103.7-FM, The Buzz — which does sports radio call-in shows all day long — the topic might come up, too.

It has been 17 years since Richardson was terminated by the UA for saying before — and at least twice after — a game against Kentucky to give him his money and the school could have his job.
