The same thing that kills a lot of good things, political correctness. We could have hired about anyone when Nolan was fired, namely Bill Self, but we had to hire a black coach to prove we weren't racists and we got Stan Heath.

Who killed Arkansas basketball? Broyles or Nolan?
Kentucky, mid 90's. Nolan never recovered and went on a tirade after a UK loss and lost his job.

Enh we aren't looking like we hoped we would this season. It happens. I hate to say it but trying to troll Arkansas fans over our basketball program under performing is not going to get the bites y'all are hoping for. We haven't been good in a while, we haven't been elite in longer. If Anderson doesn't turn things around soon we'll go looking for another coach and that will be that.
I hate to say it, but barring a miracle run to the Final Four in the next year or so it will be a long time before you troll Arkansas on our basketball team and get more then a "meh whatever" from us.

The beginning of the end....
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. -- Arkansas basketball coach Nolan Richardson said Monday that he has earned the right to have a season considered subpar by Razorback standards.
Richardson said after a loss to then-No. 12 Kentucky on Saturday that, if Arkansas would buy out his contract, "they can take the job tomorrow."
Arkansas is 13-13, 5-9 in the Southeastern Conference. This year's results are atypical for Richardson, who has taken the Razorbacks to the NCAA 14 of the last 15 years and to a postseason tournament for 16 years straight.
"I've earned the right to have the season I've had," Richardson said at a news conference looking ahead to Wednesday's game at Mississippi State.
Arkansas Chancellor John White said Sunday that he believed Richardson's comments about having his seven-year contract bought out was due only to the coach's competitiveness. He said he expected Nolan to complete his contract.
Richardson opened his news conference Monday by asking an aide to read a note from the family of a recruit praising the coach. Richardson then said the reason good players come to Arkansas is because he is coach.
"The No. 1 thing that's talked in our deal is that the greatest thing going for the University of Arkansas is Nolan Richardson. Secondly, all the key football players talk to Nolan Richardson. Why?" Richardson asked rhetorically.
The coach lashed out at criticism and said he would make himself less available.
"My practices will be closed to the media from this day until I decide when I'll open it again, if I ever open it again while I am still the basketball coach here," he said.
Richardson said he is eager for athletics director Frank Broyles and top university officials to know his stand.
"But I will not answer to the media, I will not answer to the fans or anybody else. No talk show hosts, no anybody can do anything to me."
The coach went on, saying reporters should not try to reach him on their own.
"Do not call me ever on my phone, none of you, at my home ever again. Those lines are no longer for communications with me," Richardson said.
Short of winning the Southeastern Conference tournament, Arkansas likely must defeat Mississippi State on the road and Vanderbilt at home -- then advance well into the SEC tournament to have any shot at an NCAA berth. The Razorbacks lost to LSU twice, but do have victories over No. 6 Alabama and No. 8 Florida.
Arkansas defeated Mississippi State 75-64 last month when the Bulldogs were ranked No. 22.
"We were fortunate to do a good job against them the last time," Richardson said. "Once again, if we can put it in the hole, we have a chance.
"I've never guaranteed a victory in my life, but I always think we can win. That's how I feel," Richardson said. "I think we can win out and I think we can win the tournament. That's just how I am."

Further, he complained of second class treatment at the University of Arkansas. He commented that his great-grandfather , not he, came over on the boat and indicated that he expected better treatment.

If Kennedy and Marshall Henderson can make the dance, Arkansas can luck up and sneak in, right?

It would have really sucked had we hired that one.

Nolan's ego got the best of him.I hate he resorted to this state because I was proud of his accomplishments,and supported him from day one.
Early in his stint,he would take the blame for the losses,in the end,he blamed everyone but himself.
He is bitter by his own doing.Too bad for his self worth,he could have been appreciated and respected here by all instead of being mired in the dung that he dipped himself into.
I hope someday he can defeat the demons that are in his mind.

I dont think we drop from a 5 seed to out because of one loss
I wouldnt expect an Ole Miss fan to understand NCAAT seeding though
