About Eric Musselman

Eric Musselman, who was named the Arkansas head coach on April 7th, 2019, has a record of 95-42 in four seasons leading the Razorbacks. After reaching the Elite Eight in 2021 and 2022, Arkansas continued to make some more March memories in 2023. The eighth-seeded Razorbacks opened the NCAA Tournament with a victory over Illinois and then knocked off Kansas, 72-71, in the second round. As the final buzzer sounded, Musselman jumped onto the press table, ripped off his red polo shirt, and waved it over his head while shouting, much to the delight of the Arkansas faithful. The celebration has become a tradition for Musselman after big victories. It was the second year in a row that Arkansas beat a No. 1 seed. The Razorbacks upset Gonzaga on the way to their second straight Elite Eight in the 2022 NCAA Tournament.

Musselman arrived at Arkansas after four successful seasons as the head coach at the University of Nevada in which he compiled an overall record of 110-34 and the Wolf Pack qualified for three consecutive NCAA Tournaments. Musselman, the son of former NBA head coach Bill Musselman, previously served as the head coach of the Sacramento Kings for one season (2006-07) and Golden State Warriors for two seasons (2002-04). Between NBA head coaching stints, he served as an assistant for the Memphis Grizzlies under Mike Fratello before moving to the college coaching ranks in 2012 as an assistant at Arizona State University. Musselman was also a head coach in the Continental Basketball Association before becoming an assistant coach with the Minnesota Timberwolves, Orlando Magic, and Atlanta Hawks.
