University submits resolution for naming of Nolan Richardson Court

By Tye Richardson

It’s one of the biggest Razorback debates of them all. Should Nolan Richardson have the floor at Bud Walton Arena be named after him?

Many of the fans have sounded off voicing their opinion that it should be named Nolan Richardson Court. Their outcry may have been answered.

According to the University of Arkansas:

“University of Arkansas Chancellor Joe Steinmetz has submitted a resolution for consideration by the University of Arkansas System Board of Trustees to name the court at Bud Walton Arena in honor of Nolan Richardson.”

They will vote on this resolution at the next board of trustees meeting which occurs on March 27-28.

Here’s Arkansas athletic director Hunter Yurachek on the choice awaiting the board of trustees:

“We wanted all of his players, assistant coaches, staff members and Razorback fans to have an opportunity to join us next season as we formally dedicate Nolan Richardson Court.”

What do you think should happen?
