Head Basketball Coach John Pelphrey announced today that he is re-assigning one of his assistant coaches to an administrative role and plans to hire a new coach for the 2010-11 season.
“As part of our ongoing commitment to improving our program, I believe these changes will result in the development of both a stronger coaching and support staff,” Pelphrey says. “After making my recommendation, Jeff Long assisted me in creating this opportunity. I appreciate the support of our administration and their continued assistance in providing our basketball program the resources and the opportunity to succeed. I appreciate what Isaac Brown has brought to our program and look forward to working with him in his new administrative role.”
This announcement came after Pelphrey concluded his year-end assesment meeting with Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics Jeff Long. The meeting assesed all aspects of the basketball program as well as the staff recommendations made by Pelphrey for the upcoming season.
“On the court, while we have had some success, our coaches and student-athletes understand the expectations of the Razorback program is to compete for championships and win consistently in the Southeastern Conference and nationally. We will continue to work every day in all facets of our program to meet those expectations.”
