Former Arkansas All-American and NBA star Ron Brewer has known new Razorbacks coach Eric Musselman for 38 years.
Brewer, who was selected by Portland with the seventh pick in the 1978 NBA draft (one pick behind Indiana State junior Larry Bird), played eight years in the NBA, including the 1981-82 season in Cleveland under the late Bill Musselman.
“His dad coached me when I was at Cleveland,” Brewer said. “He was one of those young kids that was always around the game. He was in the office as well as in the gym with his dad. I have been knowing him for a long time.
