Musselman still coaching despite torn rotator cuff

FAYETTEVILLE -- For the second time in 11 years, Eric Musselman is coaching basketball while dealing with a major injury.

Not a player's injury -- Musselman's injury.

Musselman, in his third season as coach at the University of Arkansas, is preparing for the Southeastern Conference opener at Mississippi State on Wednesday night with a torn rotator cuff in his left shoulder.

In the summer of 2011, Musselman coached the Venezuela National Team during the FIBA Americas Championship after tearing the Achilles tendon in his left leg. He spent several weeks in South America, first for training camp in Venezuela and then for games in Argentina.
