NORTH LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Nolan Richardson said he is talking with Arkansas State officials about the school’s basketball coaching vacancy.
Richardson has been out of college coaching since being fired by Arkansas in 2002.
“I have visited with them, and I will have some more visitations with the (athletic director) and the chancellor,” Richardson said Monday. “I will have some more dialogue with them here in the next day or so.”
The job has been open since Dickey Nutt resigned two weeks ago. Arkansas State spokesman Jerry Scott said the athletic department had no comment on potential candidates.
Richardson coached Arkansas to a national championship in 1994, but was fired in 2002 and later lost a discrimination lawsuit against the school.
