Razorbacks think Boykins a big hire

FAYETTEVILLE -- Earl Boykins is on Eric Musselman's team again, this time at the University of Arkansas.

As an NBA player, Boykins first met Musselman during the 1999-2000 season. Musselman was an assistant coach for Orlando, and Boykins played just one game for the Magic, but he made an impression.

When Musselman became an NBA head coach with Golden State in 2002, he brought in Boykins as a free agent.

Boykins played in 68 games with Musselman's Warriors and averaged 8.8 points and 3.3 assists in 19.4 minutes per game off the bench. He specialized in closing games in the fourth quarter.
