FAYETTEVILLE — Chris Crutchfield is leaving the Arkansas men’s basketball program after one season.
Crutchfield, who has been an associate head coach for the Razorbacks since last season, has accepted the head coaching job at East Central (Okla.) University, a Division II program in Ada, Okla. Crutchfield will replace Ja Havens, who was hired at Northeastern (Okla.) State on May 19.
Crutchfield was the second on-court assistant hired by Arkansas coach Eric Musselman last spring. He had spent the previous eight seasons at Oklahoma under Lon Kruger.
Before coming to Arkansas, he coached college basketball for 12 consecutive seasons in Oklahoma.
