Not even 24 hours later, the situation took another step as Arkansas’ Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics, Hunter Yurachek, released a statement of his own, offering an apology to the Kentucky Kernel and Weaver on behalf of Hall and Arkansas men’s basketball. “I have visited with Riley Hall, a member of our men’s basketball support staff, and others who personally observed an interaction between Mr. Hall and a reporter following our game Friday night at the SEC Men’s Basketball Tournament. During our conversation, Mr. Hall expressed his regret that while leaving the floor his engagement inadvertently resulted in knocking down the reporter’s cell phone from his hand. “While, based on our discussion, I do not believe there was malicious intent, I have addressed the issue with Mr. Hall and he agrees his actions were not appropriate or reflective of our program. On behalf of Mr. Hall and our program, I want to offer an apology to the reporter impacted by these actions.”
