Arkansas has hired former Los Angeles Lakers assistant coach Clay Moser to the same position.
Moser, who joined the Lakers back in 2014, has many years of coaching and scouting experience at the NBA level after starting his career as an assistant at North Carolina State in the late 80s.
He has also worked with new Arkansas coach Eric Musselman at various stops throughout his career.

Here’s what Musselman had to say about his newest hire, courtesy of the team’s official website:
“Clay and I have worked together in the NBA, with the Golden State Warriors and Sacramento Kings, and in the NBA Development League with the Reno Bighorns and Los Angeles Defenders’ Musselman said. “We also worked together with the Dominican National Team. Clay is an incredible ‘X and O’ coach and he has been at the forefront of basketball analytics. He loves player development and brings the NBA experience that our players look for and will soak up.”
Moser also expressed his excitement to make the move to Fayetteville:
“I can’t wait to get to Fayetteville and get started with Coach Muss and the great staff he has assembled,” Moser said. “This will be the sixth place Coach Muss and I have worked together. His worth ethic is infectious, and his personality makes it fun to come to work. With that, positive results typically follow.”
The Razorbacks have their full coaching staff in place, with Moser joining fellow assistants Chris Crutchfield and Corey Williams.
