The University of Arkansas Board of Trustees approved naming the men’s basketball team’s practice gym after former coach Eddie Sutton at their May meeting Thursday in Little Rock.
The gym, located inside the Razorbacks’ Basketball Performance Center, will be known as the Eddie Sutton Men's Basketball Practice Gym.
The Basketball Performance Center is located across the street from Bud Walton Arena in Fayetteville and houses locker rooms, training areas, separate practice gyms and coaches’ offices for the men’s and women’s basketball teams.
The vote took place two months after trustees approved naming the court at Bud Walton Arena after former coach Nolan Richardson.
