FAYETTEVILLE -- University of Arkansas Athletic Director Hunter Yurachek said Monday that his decision to relieve Mike Anderson of his coaching duties for the men's basketball team March 26 was his toughest thus far in the business.
After the Razorbacks lost 63-60 at Indiana to wrap up their 18-16 season March 23, Yurachek said he sent Anderson a "list of things" he wanted to talk about during a year-end meeting two days later that also would include deputy athletic director and sports administrator Jon Fagg at The Blessings golf course.
Yurachek was asked during Monday's introductory news conference for new Coach Eric Musselman if there was anything Anderson could have done to extend his tenure with the Razorbacks.
