Nolan Richardson's latest moves covered in SI

Sports Illustrated college basketball columnist Seth Davis visits with former Arkansas basketball Nolan Richardson on the latest goings on with the coach, including his recent "interview" with UTEP about its basketball opening, and whether he'll ever coach again. He's approaching "Medicare" age, the ol' coach notes in the column.

"I've always said that if I was going to take another job, it should be equal to the job I lost," Richardson told me. "So to me, I'd have to think of that as a major college job where I'd have an opportunity to get to the mountaintop again, not a mid-major. I don't want to coach just to coach, and I said that to [UTEP athletic director] Bob Stull."

 

Comments

Wait, I thought Arkansas was a little redneck school in the hills that never would've been anything if not for Nolan. If that were true, why wouldn't Nolan want a job like UTEP?
