Legend has it that when Frank Broyles decided to do something about the pitiful state of Arkansas Razorbacks basketball, he risked his life to hire Eddie Sutton.
Broyles flew through a snowstorm to hire Sutton because the athletic director had heard Duke was going to offer him a job.
What Broyles did in 1974 was change the attitude and landscape of basketball in Arkansas. He allowed Sutton to lay a solid foundation. Sutton will be honored by the UA on Feb. 20 by having a banner raised to the rafters of Walton Arena, three weeks before his 80th birthday.
