I'm psyched we got a guy who has been to the tourney as recently as this year. That being said, I've seen comments by Razorback fans on more than one website referring to a "lack of effort" and "undisciplined" team run by Heath. Does anyone know more specifics? I'm not trying to be negative, just wanted some clarity from the folks who would know....

I'm expecting a ncaa tournament bid. 5/1.5 million.

He doesn't really show emotion. He's not a good x and o's coach. He's a good recruiter.

I'm  on the fence with him. Not sure If i am or not.

The comments by beverly MIGHT indicate an undisciplined coaching style... as he said he wasn't sure he would stay because he wasn't sure the new coach would give him free reign to play his game.

That said, i'm still tremendously happy to get a coach like Heath.

I dont think I have seen a straight answer to this question: Why was Stan Heath fired? Was it soley because your AD thought he was going to get Gillespie? I know our expectations are lower, but the man had won 20 games and NCAA tournaments back to back. It really doesnt matter, we have him now, I'm thrilled, there was no other coach out there that can generate the excitment he will. But just wondering what y'all thought. And thanks for the kind words about him.

I'm not sure what all you've been told about why Heath was fired, but here's what we've become accustomed to at Arkansas

26 conference titles

10 elite eights

10 sweet sixteens

6 final fours

29 tourney appearances

39 tourney victories

1 national championship

1 national runner up

#8 all time basketball program

Needless to say, Heath came no where close.  His 2 tourney appearances came because he had runs at the end of the season to get us in.   One major reason he was fired was because fan support was fading.....too many empty seats

And, along with those empty seats, we lost about $1.6 million this year.

Bottom line appears to be that Arkansas fans are spoiled... like Kentucky fans.

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.
