Zimmerman, Cox, and Williamson are the only ones of the five to have finished their conference play.

It's going to interfere with the beginning of Jerry Springer but I guess I can make the sacrifice. 8)

Well the news is breaking on Twitter that the new Men's Basketball Coach at UCA will be..............
Corliss Williamson.

This is not who I wanted, but I'm willing to give him a shot to see what he can do with this program.

Corliss is a huge presence.
Anyone that has had the pleasure of meeting him knows what I'm talking about.
Great person that has the knowledge and leadership to be one hell of a coach.

He'll do fine at recruiting. With all of that Association experience, he has instant credibility with kids who all ultimately want to play at that level.

Everything I know and have heard or read about the guy points to him being a solid candidate. This is NOT just a move to sell tickets.

As a UCA alum (and longtime Razorback fan), I'm excited.

So, Coach Rip should probably have kept his mouth shut until the new school made the announcement.

Williamson is leaving his job as coach at Arkansas Baptist, a junior college in Little Rock, to take over at Division I Central Arkansas, according to Charles Ripley, the athletic director at Arkansas Baptist.

Like others on here, I'm not overly thrilled about the hire, but optomistic.

Can we please refer to him as Coach Nasty? :)

Wow, what was his record at Arkansas Baptist?

Well, it seems this may have come down to money, but not the way I was originally thinking. It may be that he is willing to work for a lot less than others just because he is financially secure and doesn't really need the money.
Anyway, I can see positives and negatives, but I am going to wipe the slate clean and let him do his job, and hopefully do it very well!

Be interesting to hear the reasons behind the hiring of an unproven coach at this level.
