Pretty cool scene for Thanksgiving dinner. You don’t see this very often having two teams who played each other the night before spending it together.
Thanks to
@MikeWoodsonNBA
and
@IndianaMBB
for having my team over while we’re away from home. 🏀
Coach Musselman and I had a good conversation about the possibility of our teams playing this week.
Unfortunately, the circumstances and timing won’t make it possible this season but we are both looking forward to future games between our two programs. 🏀
We would like to thank Hunter Yurachek and Eric Musselman for the invite to play the exhibition basketball game in Bud Walton Arena. It was a great event with Nolan Richardson’s dedication. Thanks and hope to do it again 🏀
A nice surprise to come home and find this package waiting for me.
Thank you to
@EricPMusselman
for thinking of me with the shirt honoring coach Sutton from this weekend. 🏀
When you are picked 11th, yet engineer one of the best turnarounds in the country, that will earn you some accolades.
Congrats to

Russell Westbrook's triple-double tonight was his 15th of the season, tying Darrell Walker's all-time franchise record.
Russ has played 37 games for the Wizards.
Just got off the phone with coach Nolan Richardson and had to wish him a happy birthday.
An incredible coach and, I believe, the only one to win a JUCO, NIT and NCAA championship. 🏀

drilled the game winner as time expired to give

Arkansas a 64-63 win over Texas A&M in College Station.
Highlights:
Great catching up with a pair of old friends at the Peach Jam.
Loved my time along side coach Mike Woodson, working with 10-time All-Star Carmelo Anthony. 🏀
Wanted to take some time to reflect on Monday’s documentary.
A message from coach Sutton has become one of my most prized possessions and shows the type of man he was.
So glad so many got to remember Coach as I did. 🏀
With tonight's win,
@CoachWalker_LR
notched his 💯th win as a head coach at the collegiate level.
Walker is the only coach in the nation with head coaching experience at the NBA, WNBA, Division II and Division I levels.

The long overdue day is finally here. I’m so happy to see Coach Sutton in the Hall of Fame where he belongs among the sport’s coaching legends.
I’m glad he got to hear the news before he passed and know he’s smiling down on us today. 🏀

Once a Hog, always a Hog. Congrats to Kareem Reid on his Hall of Honor induction!

Sorry to hear about Coach Sutton. I’ve been thinking about u for the last hour since I heard the news. I know how much he meant to u
I’ve always made sure to emphasize to my guys that they are students first.
I’m proud of these men for handling their business both on and off the court. 🏀🎓
I played with and against some of the all-time greats, and Kobe was right there with any of them.
His competitiveness, drive and will to win at any cost was unmatched.
A truly sad day for the game. Please keep his family and the others involved in this tragedy in your prayers.

There were a lot of snickers when
@CoachEwing33
was named head coach at Georgetown.
One of the 50 greatest players in NBA history, an 11 time All-Star and an assistant at the highest level.
So happy for my friend and a big win for Georgetown. 🏀
It was great to run into Nate Allen, one of the great Arkansas sports writers along with Wally Hall, Bob Holt, and Orville Henry, at the Arkansas vs Duke game. 🏀

On this Thanksgiving, I’ve been thinking of coach Sutton. Thankful for him teaching me defense, dedication and discipline and making me want to pursue coaching. 🏀
So sorry to hear about your mother’s passing. I loved my time as a Razorback to represent the state of Arkansas and it was fans like her that made it so special. 🏀🙏🏾
Fran as a former player under Eddie Sutton i am just lost for words . Can’t believe coach is not in the HALL OF FAME . If not for coach Sutton i would not be where i am right now 🏀
This is an injustice that must be corrected. Or remove all the college coaches in the Hall of Fame that have been put on NCAA probation. Over 800 wins & the Sweet 16 at four different schools.
For those wondering why UALR head coach Darrell Walker has had his left arm in a sling on the bench the past few weeks, Walker had surgery on his left bicep earlier this month.
Why? “This is a squirrel injury,” he said.
It was great to see my wife, Lisa Walker, get inducted to the SWC Hall of Fame! We are the only husband and wife to be inducted in the SWC Hall of Fame! So happy for her! 🏀🏅
Always a blessing to get to see my Coach and friend. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, no excuse for Coach Sutton not to be in the Naismith College Basketball Hall of Fame!
Had to wish a happy birthday to one of the best PGs in the history of the NBA.
@IsiahThomas
and I have been friends since I was 16 and I’m indebted to him for giving me my start in coaching. 🏀
Suited up for Coaches vs Cancer. Let’s work together to help the American Cancer Society fight it. Glad to join Scott Varady and Coach Debriyn leading the way. 🏀
It’s almost that time for the third part of

I took a lot of pride in the task of guarding the other team’s best player during my career. 🏀
What is most important to me about Bill Russell is not the 11 championships and everything he did as a player and coach, but everything he accomplished off the court impacting others.
RIP to the legend Bill Russell. 🏀🙏🏾
Proud to introduce
@LittleRockMBB
to

world class museum. A real special day thanks to our friend Alice Walton. We will be back to enjoy it again.
The last images from an incredible and unforgettable season. 🏀🏆
Thank you to all our fans for an amazing year. We wish we could have made you proud a few more times.

I wanted to share some recollections of coach Sutton this week.
This one was from early in my collegiate career and I felt was fitting in describing our relationship. 🏀
