There are 33 days until the [autotag]Arkansas basketball[/autotag] team’s season begins with an exhibition game against Purdue.
Monday marked the first official day of practice for the Razorbacks and before practice got underway, Musselman finalized some changes to his coaching staff. The team announced three additions to the coaching staff to reflect the new NCAA rules that went into effect in July – allowing for five assistant coaches.
Todd Lee, Michael Musselman and [autotag]Ronnie Brewer[/autotag] will join Keith Smart and Anthony Ruta as assistant coaches for the 2023-2024 season. Along with Eric Musselman, Smart, Ruta and Michael Musselman will serve as off-campus recruiters for the team.
“All three of these coaches have demonstrated their importance to this program and the program will continue to benefit from their knowledge and expertise,” Eric Musselman said about the changes.
“Michael has successfully led our recruiting efforts for the past four years. As a former head coach, Todd’s contributions this past year were invaluable to me and our program in terms of breaking down our own program and our opponents. Ronnie has played a key role in our recruiting success, done an excellent job getting our players involved in the community and has been a mentor to our players by sharing his extensive NBA knowledge.”
As mentioned earlier, the team’s season will officially begin on October 28 when they face Purdue in a charity exhibition game. One week from Wednesday, we’ll get our first look at this year’s squad at the annual Red-White Game in Barnhill Arena.
