FAYETTEVILLE -- University of Arkansas basketball fans will find out if time has healed a long-standing wound regarding Nolan Richardson later this month.
The university announced Wednesday that Chancellor Joe Steinmetz has submitted a resolution for consideration by the UA System board of trustees to name the court at Walton Arena after Richardson, the long-time head coach who led the Razorbacks to three Final Fours and the 1994 NCAA Championship.
Steinmetz and second-year Athletic Director Hunter Yurachek have thrown their support around the idea, which has been percolating among Razorbacks fans for many years. The board will consider the resolution at its next meetings March 27-28 in Hot Springs.
