Despite Fine Finishes, Heath Finished

On Monday, Arkansas fired Coach Stan Heath. During his tenure, Heath recorded an 82-71 record. He tallied a 31-49 South Eastern Conference record. He led the Razorbacks into a pair of NCAA Tournaments.

Arkansas’ decision was correct. Heath coached five seasons. He recorded one regular season conference winning record. He never won a non-conference postseason contest. Two desperate spurts should not preserve employment. They did not rescue Heath.
