Philander Smith College made a huge splash hiring former Arkansas star Todd Day as the new Panthers coach this week.
The question may be how long can the Little Rock NAIA college keep him?
Day, the Hogs’ all-time leading scorer, may be in high demand by a larger school sooner rather than later. It could be as a mid-major head coach or a recruiter on a major Division I staff.
With a resume that includes college all-American, NBA veteran and semi-pro, AAU and high school coach coupled with his new gig, Day has a chance to advance quickly depending how successful he is at Philander.
