Playing professionally is a dream of many high school athletes, and when a college coach's resume includes the NFL or NBA, it garners the attention of prospects.
Newly hired University of Arkansas Coach Eric Musselman's resume includes six stops in the NBA as an assistant coach for the Minnesota Timberwolves, Orlando Magic, Atlanta Hawks and Memphis Grizzlies, as well as head coaching stints with the Golden State Warriors and Sacramento Kings.
ESPN national director of recruiting Paul Biancardi said Musselman's NBA experience helps him with recruits.
"I think what it does, it creates a conversation in recruiting that other college coaches can't say they've been in the NBA," Biancardi said.
