FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas coach Eric Musselman was named one of 10 semifinalists for Naismith men’s coach of the year on Friday.
Nolan Richardson is the only Razorbacks coach to win the award. He was recognized in 1994, the year he led Arkansas to its first national championship.
In his second season with the Razorbacks, Musselman has pushed the program back onto the national stage. Arkansas enters the final weekend of the regular season boasting a 20-5 record, 12-4 mark in the SEC and a 10-game conference winning streak.
On Monday, the Razorbacks jumped eight spots to No.
