It should be done.  Hopefully Jeff Long will have the stones to do it.

[Chad In Real Life]

c'mon he's the only one that actually won a REAL national championship

[budcampbellfan]

Not til Nolan publicly apologizes like he publicly threw a fit.  Then I'm ok with it.

[MysticHog]

Nolan built that arena, it should have his name on it.

[Tripod1]

He made public remarks he needs to apologize for before naming the court after him.  Then I would be all for it.

Bud Walton built that arena. Thats why his name is on it.

If Nolan would of asked for the money Bud would of paid for all of it instead of half of it. Without Nolan none of it would of happened.

name it after Nolan. He helped build the bud barn.

The Nolan Richardson Basketball Court at Bud Walton Arena. A little long. you think? Frank Broyles Field at Reynolds Razorback Stadium is a Dumb azz idea. You can't say either one in one breath.

I guess you talked to Bud about that?

[dacskc]

Did anyone ever apologize to Nolan for the crap he took? Just sayin'...don't judge somebody til' you walk in his shoes...he probably had a lot of pent up stuff that made him do what he did. I can over-look that. Should he have done it? No. Was he justified in his feelings? Probably.

What did Nolan say that wasn't true? That he was treated differently than other coaches? Boy, that's a stretch.

I guess you don't know the difference between common knowledge or anything else as far as that goes. Just what do you bring to the board?

[MJ2]

Yes.  Do it now.   He deserves a big celebration and give him his due!!!

[Call Mr. Sow]

Actually, what I really want to see is a huge Nolan statue inside the BAC, but that's really more about sticking it to Frank than honoring Nolan.

Common knowledge??? How the F is that common knowledge???

Don't spout stuff like its fact unless it is.... and what you said ain't fact, its pure speculation and hypothetical.

[gcraise1]

I say he doesnt need to apologize, by looking at whats going on currently I am believing more and more that ole Nolan was telling the truth about how he was treated and the Dork was treated.

And yes he should have the court named after him, so far to date he is the only won who outright won a national championship.

[grayhawg]

That I would support.

[havok]

A year ago I would have agreed....but inlight of the total unethical, and lack of intergrity from Frank, Dork and the powers... I feel more sympathetic to Coach Richardson and wht he saw and endured...  I am willing to give him a pass....as long as he shows that he loves the fans..

I'm good as long as there is room for other statues when we win future championships... Nolan did great things here but he is not the end-all in Razorback basketball.

Can you not even read?  I watch the post you make and you are just out here trying to cause some trouble Jr.  When the money was brought in from Bud and Frank told Nolan that Bud was paying for half Nolan told Frank "If you had let me ask He would of paid for the whole thing".  Looke it up, you can find it in the ADG archives.

[claycohog]

Just think if your boss constantly tried to set you up for failure.  I believe most of us would break at some point.  The only difference is that Nolan had cameras in his face most of the time when he spoke publicly.

Who is then?  What coach has taken Arkansas to the final four three times and won a national title?

Obviously you dont read what I post... or you just cant understand them.

You're the one over in NFL stirring up stuff betting Cowboy fans on the GB game, Boy.

And as for as the little quip you quoted... how in the HELL does Nolan know if Bud would have paid for it all?? You give too much credit to the speculation of those you respect.

Hopefully a new era is beginning - up till now, however, Nolan is/was definitely the pinnacle of Razorback success in a major sport. 

IMO, Nolan should be honored, and I think Pel and Long are the kind of men who will make it happen.  That said, Nolan should clarify/apologise for the outbursts that got him fired.

NO ONE is!!

The program will prosper and survive long after any coach that we have. Nolan is the most accomplished coach so far, but, just like we are clamoring to be better in football, most of us still have hope and expectations that another coach will accomplish bigger and better things here.

For the money these big time coaches make, they just need tougher skin.  I cannot feel sorry for him or anyone who makes a million plus just for coaching a sports team.  They can get a real job as far as I am concerned if they think they are being treated unfairly.

Profanity is the sign of a weak mind trying to express itself.  Can you not type on paragraph without using it?  For that answer on how Nolan knew this you might want to ask him.  I do not understand why some people like yourself show such little respect for Nolan.  Bud Walton arena and the tiles inside echo his name every time I walk in the place.

I apologize for the veiled profanity... I generally dont use it, but for some reason I'm worked up this morning.

As for the answer from Nolan, you made my point... don't try and use facts that aren't true facts. BWA exists b/c of Bud Waltons donation, and in some part to Broyles asking and Nolans coaching.

As far as Nolan... I have nothing but respect for what he did here as a coach, and the mid-90s were the best times I've had as a Hog fan. But he really let me down with his apparent apathy near the end and the way he handled himself. IMO, there were things going on in the background that he shouldnt have had to deal with, but I dont know that for sure and I can only go off what I saw from Nolan publicly at the end, which was not good.

You need to get in better shape.

Ouch! lol

[Bama Hog™]

c'mon he's the only one that actually won a REAL national championship

True!
1964 Football NC:
Alabama (AP)(UPI) 10-1 Lost Orange Paul "Bear" Bryant
Arkansas (FWAA)(H) 11-0 Won Cotton Frank Broyles

[Bama Hog™]

Agree with grayhawg Nolan Richardson Court at Bud Walton Area and FB field at RR stadium, geeze. Where does it end?

If we hire Jimmy J as HC, to pay him will he have to legally change his name to "Walker Reynolds Walton Jimmy Johnson Head Coach"

[chuckinss]

It should NOT be named after him.  I loved Nolan, loved his teams, BUT he SUED the university for heaven sakes!!  He "called out" the university at the end and he left on bad terms.  You don't name something after someone who threatens to "bring in the tanks."  Good Grief!!

The only wrong with him suing is that he didn't win. It's obvious to most that Nolan was telling the truth.

called people "turds", teams quit on him.  Bad mouthed the city and area.  destroyed his own recruiting.  Said, "they can have this job, show me the money".

Destroyed his own recruiting?  Andre Igoudala was coming in the year he left.  That's not a bad catch.

How is any of the above any different or worse than what Broyles or Nutt has said?

[claycohog]

He called the media turds, not the fans.  The Bac and the media put a spin on what he said.  What?  Spin?  It can't be.

Frank caused him to badmouth the fans and the area, and become bad at recruiting?

I think Broyles may have caused alot of heartache for Nolan, which is bad.... but I also think Nolan had his own issues seperate from Broyles.

[Fatty McGee]

How did he badmouth the fans and area any worse than John White, Frank Broyles, and Houston Nutt have?

This is an argument for honoring the guy?  Fuzzy thinking here.

[claycohog]

We are honoring Frank Broyles, the most self-centered person I have ever encountered.  He is also training his protege to be just like him.  Yes, the man we are trying to get rid of.  Yet we are honoring the one and only Frank Broyles.  RIDICULOUS!

[secfan30]

Not til Nolan publicly apologizes like he publicly threw a fit.  Then I'm ok with it.

He did apologize. The very next game he Coached he was on the radio and apologized during the after game broadcast.
