FAYETTEVILLE — Scotty Thurman won’t be staying at the University of Arkansas as an assistant basketball coach.
Thurman, an assistant coach on Mike Anderson’s staff the previous three seasons, isn’t being retained as an assistant by new Razorbacks Coach Eric Musselman, according to a source with knowledge of the situation.
Thurman, 44, was offered the opportunity to remain on the Arkansas staff in an administrative role as director of student-athlete development, but he declined that position, the source confirmed.
Thurman, who starred on the Razorbacks’ 1994 national championships team, worked as Arkansas’ director of student-athlete development for six years before Anderson added him to the coaching staff.
