FAYETTEVILLE — Who could have guessed the 1995-96 Florida Beachdogs would produce two NBA head coaches?
Eric Musselman was coach of the Beachdogs — a CBA team in West Palm Beach, Fla. — that season, and Keith Smart was one of his players.
Now Musselman and Smart are back together at the University of Arkansas.
Musselman, who has a 45-17 record in two seasons as the Razorbacks coach, announced Wednesday he has hired Smart as an assistant coach.
Previously, Musselman and Smart were head coaches in the NBA for both the Golden State Warriors and Sacramento Kings.
