Arkansas Has a Coach!

No, not the Arkansas Razorbacks. I’m talking about the new Arkansas Impact of the Premier Basketball League; the todd dayteam has inked former Hog star Todd Day to be its head coach. Jim Harris of ArkansasSports360.com has the story. Todd never struck me as the coaching type, but I guess (or hope) he’s matured from his Arkansas and NBA days.

According to the piece, the Impact will begin its season in January and will play its home games in the lovely crowd magnet that is Little Rock’s Barton Coliseum. The article also says that Day mentions former Razorbacks Kareem Reid, Brandon Dean and - here’s a total blast from the past - Roosevelt Wallace as possible players. I guess Wallace will come in handy whenever Todd needs someone to break an opposing player’s legs.

Anyhoo, here’s wishing Day and the team the best of luck.

Didn’t I just see a you tube link to to the “cat fight” with larry Johnson from the UA/UNLV game, or was that another blog… After watching his carrer implode over the years, hard to believe he has matured enough to be a coach…

Hi Mickey,

You are correct: the YouTube clip was posted on this blog last weekend.

I’ve been assigned to the Todd Day beat.

I was hoping for the resurrection of the Arkansas Aeros this season so I could watch Day launch 30 footers every game.
Good luck to him “coaching”

Who’s that team that’s flyin’ high like a plane? It’s the Aeros…Aeros.

I was sad to see them go. Todd Day is still the man.
