Kent State: Heath Dismissed Despite NCAA Tournament Berths



Heath Dismissed Despite NCAA Tournament Berths: Despite having led the Razorbacks to back-to-back 20-win and NCAA Tournament seasons, Arkansas coach Stan Heath was fired Monday. Arkansas went 21-14 this season, including 7-9 in SEC West play, but lost to USC in the first round of the NCAA tournament. Athletic Director Frank Broyles called the move “difficult” but said it was best for both parties as he seeks to get the program back to “national prominence.” Heath had an 82-71 record with the Razorbacks and didn ‘t fare well in the SEC, going 31-49. He was Kent State’s coach in 2002 when the Golden Flashes went 30-6 and made an Elite Eight appearance. [3/27/07]
