California Columnist Fans the Flames, Trumpets Eric Musselman as Arizona Basketball Savior

Far too many people around the nation confuse Arizona with Arkansas when it comes to postal codes.

Over and over, “AR” is taken to mean “Arizona” when it really stands for “Arkansas.” Since both states begin with “Ar,” however, the mix up is understandable.

Far less understandable is why there’s so much confusion about the states’ premier college basketball programs as the Wildcats try to land their next head basketball coach in the wake of Sean Miller’s firing.

As candidates are discussed in the national media, there’s a perception that Arizona basketball is a tier above Arkansas’ program — and that this could theoretically help the program coach a great coach like Arkansas’ Eric Musselman.
