FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas will be without an assistant coach for its SEC opener on Wednesday.
Clay Moser, head coach Eric Musselman’s final on-court hire to his initial coaching staff, will not travel with the team to Auburn, Musselman told reporters Tuesday. It will be the third consecutive game Moser has missed due to covid-19 protocols.
Musselman added that director of basketball operations Anthony Ruta, who was not present for the Abilene Christian game on Dec. 22, will return to the bench and step into Moser’s role.
“He did not have (covid-19), but he’s back with us,” Musselman said.
