This is not the first job search this off-season with Musselman’s name attached to it. When Louisville, Arizona State and SMU’s jobs became available, there was talk Musselman could be a candidate.

The Razorback head coach spent five seasons at Arkansas, leading the Hogs to back-to-back Elite Eight appearances and a Sweet Sixteen appearances in Years 2, 3 & 4.
