FAYETTEVILLE — On April 2, 2019, Danyelle Musselman greeted Arkansas athletics director Hunter Yurachek and the Razorbacks' sport administrator for men’s basketball, Jon Fagg, at the family’s home in Reno, Nev., before heading to the gym.
She dropped off the family dog, Swish, a male Havanese, at daycare. Not to be distracted while working out, Danyelle left her cell phone in her vehicle. When she checked her phone post-workout, she had upward of 20 missed calls and texts.
All of the messages were a variation of, “You didn’t tell me Eric was going to Arkansas!”
A report stating Eric Musselman, then the men's basketball coach at Nevada who had won 110 games in four seasons, was in Fayetteville interviewing for the vacant head coaching position at Arkansas had surfaced on social media.
