For the first time in his 11-stop men’s basketball coaching career, Gus Argenal didn’t need to move houses.
The former Arkansas assistant coach, who resided in Fayetteville from 2021-23 under former coach Eric Musselman, was accepting a position just about 20 minutes away from his previous post.
Argenal led Division II California State-San Bernardino to the Final Four and second round in 2023. He was announced as California-Riverside’s new lead man May 1.
Upon reaching his Division I dream, Argenal looked out on his introductory press conference and saw Musselman, who worked with at Nevada and Arkansas, there to support him.
