OU basketball: Assistant coach Chris Crutchfield likely to leave for Arkansas

Longtime Oklahoma assistant coach Chris Crutchfield is on the verge of taking a similar job at Arkansas, according to Stadium's Jeff Goodman.

Crutchfield was on Kruger's original OU staff, having spent the last eight seasons in Norman.

Arkansas recently hired Eric Musselman as its new head coach. The former Nevada coach replaced Mike Anderson.
