Greenberg and Dakich tip off the podcast by previewing the ACC, talking about the lack of star-power in the league, the chasm between the top teams and everyone else and if this will be a historically bad season for the conference. Then, North Carolina’s Roy Williams stops by to get into what he learned what he learned after finishing last in the ACC, his team’s strengths and weaknesses, and his thoughts on playing the NCAA Tournament in one location (25:43). Next, it’s SEC preview time with the guys debating whether Tennessee or Kentucky is the class of the league, throwing a sock at LSU, weighing if Florida is primed for a bounce back year, and worry for Georgia (47:52). Finally, Arkansas’ Eric Musselman hops on to discuss his array of masks, the impact of adding three grad transfers to his team, implementing the Milwaukee Bucks offense and getting bullied by his wife on Twitter (1:06:13).

Eric Musselman has been on a wild journey to get to Arkansas, where he is now the head coach of the program. He's also just as out there as Tim Miles, which means that a conversation between the two ends up completely off the rails. You'll enjoy it even more because of that. 

Ryan speaks with Eric Musselman, head coach of the University of Arkansas men’s basketball team, about building on your mistakes to get better, why you need to use every tool at hand to succeed, how Musselman built his career as a coach, and more.

Coach Eric Musselman has coached basketball for over 30 years. His tenure spans multiple leagues and levels, from minor league basketball to college and the NBA. Musselman was head coach for the Golden State Warriors and Sacramento Kings, and since 2019 has been the head coach for Arkansas.

Michael is joined by Arkansas men's basketball coach Eric Musselman, who guided the Razorbacks to a 20-12 record in his first year with the program last season. Musselman, 55, is the former head coach of the Golden State Warriors (2002-04), the Sacramento Kings (2006-07) and the University of Nevada (2015-19). He also worked as an assistant coach for the Orlando Magic (1998-2000), the Atlanta Hawks (2000-02) and the Memphis Grizzlies (2004-06). His international basketball resume includes stints as head coach of the Dominican Republic and Venezuelan national teams. Eric is the son of former Cleveland Cavaliers and Minnesota Timberwolves head coach Bill Musselman.

Arkansas men's and women's basketball coaches, Eric Musselman and Mike Neighbors, sit down for an exclusive and authentic conversation, guided by Musselman. The two of them share some crazy ideas, lessons learned along the way, and revealing details of running a program. All with no coach speak.

In this bonus episode of The Hog Pod, Arkansas basketball coach Eric Musselman sits down with Razorback soccer coach Colby Hale, two standouts in their profession. Musselman has won at least 20 games in every season as a head coach, and Hale has guided Arkansas to four straight SEC Tournament championship games. The two of them converse on a wide range of topics, from leadership strategies to growing as a coach. What were their first jobs, and what did they learn from them? How are they constantly working to evolve and become better coaches? And what goes into being a good leader?
