The timing was lousy, media-wise, when Central Arkansas made the announcement a month ago it was hiring John Shulman as its new men's basketball coach.
The Arkansas Razorbacks had beaten Vanderbilt in the first round of the SEC Tournament, but the swirling rumors that Eric Musselman was on the hunt for a new job were picking up.
Plus, everyone, especially this reporter, liked Anthony Boone who was terminated at UCA. Boone is one of the nicest people in the world and one of two Ole Miss jerseys ever retired.
His knees were so bad his senior season he didn't practice, saving everything he had for games. His basketball jersey is the only one retired from that sport.
He spent five seasons at UCA as an assistant and five as the head coach, but the last two seasons the Bears won just nine games and in one of his final acts as AD, Brad Teague terminated him.
