FAYETTEVILLE — When the baseball season gets hot, Arkansas coach Dave Van Horn tries to cool it.
That's his approach as the Razorbacks hit the third weekend of postseason play with hopes for a deep run all the way to the College World Series.
It would be wrong to classify Van Horn as anything but intense. The veteran coach has an attitude about him that is unmistakable.
Ask any relief pitcher who has gotten the hook. The fire is easy to read when Van Horn asks for the baseball after the walks have built up. Sometimes it's in the middle of an at bat when Van Horn has come with the hook, with a pitcher or a hitter.
