It's going to be John Pelphrey taking over a semi-troubled Arkansas basketball program, although I'm not so sure it isn't the athletic department itself that isn't borked more than the average bear. Er, hog.The story is that South Alabama coach John Pelphrey will be introduced as Arkansas' newest head coach at 3:00 PM ET on Monday.
This certainly makes for some tangled and interesting SEC storylines. Pelphrey, one of Kentucky's senior "Unforgettables" from the 1992 squad (yes, he played in that infernal Duke game with Christian Laettner), is also a Billy Donovan disciple. Pelphrey was an assistant to Donovan at Marshall and Florida prior to taking over the South Alabama program in 2002 -- and is also Donovan's best friend. Pelphrey was Donovan's best man when he married Christine Donovan, and also named his daughter in honor of Donovan (using Donovan as one of her middle names.)
So in the SEC, you now have a former Wildcat who will attempt to beat his alma mater and best friend/former employer at least once per year each. It's nice to see a Florida assistant do well, and I wish Pelphrey all the best.
I can't help but wonder, between Frank Broyles, Houston Nutt, and that whole Malzahn/Mustain controversy what in the heck they're putting in the water out there in Fayetteville.
