Former Arkansas basketball coach Eric Musselman has been on the move for most of his six decades on Earth.
The ping-ponging began in rural Ohio while his father, Bill Musselman, was serving as the head coach at Division II Ashland University. During his childhood, Eric followed his father to coaching stops in Minneapolis and San Diego. Before he entered high school, his family moved to Cleveland when Bill got his first NBA head coaching job with the Cavaliers. Eric then returned to the west coast to attend UC-San Diego.
The younger Musselman hasn’t fallen too far from the tree as a coaching journeyman in every sense of the word, from South Dakota and the Bay Area to Florida and Arkansas.
