University of Arkansas basketball Coach Eric Musselman and his staff’s NBA experience has the attention of junior point guard Austin Nunez.
“They all have NBA experience, which can help the players they recruit get to the NBA faster,” Nunez said. “I would say that’s the goal for people my age. If you have coaches that have that experience, I think that helps a lot.”
Nunez, 6-2, 170 pounds, of San Antonio Wagner has scholarship offers from schools such as Arkansas, Texas, Baylor, Georgetown, LSU, Oklahoma State, Texas A&M, TCU and others.
In Addition to Musselman’s NBA background, associate head coach David Patrick was a scout for the Houston Rockets from 2010-12; assistant Corey Williams played with Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls in 1992-93 and the Minnesota Timberwolves in 1993-94; and assistant Clay Moser has an NBA resume that includes a stop with the Los Angeles Lakers.
