Nutt resigns as head basketball coach at ASU

With less than two weeks left in the season, Arkansas State University's Dickey Nutt and Athletic Director Dr. Lee announced that Mr. Nutt has relinquished his duties as head basketball coach. 

Two assistant basketball coaches were named as co-interim head coaches until the end of the season. 

The 2nd-winning-est coach in ASU history has been head coach since 1995, with eight years as an assistant before that. 

Nutt declined to answer questions from the media after the announcement, but did state he was heading to his son's basketball game, Jonesboro High School vs. Forrest City.

Nutt was the only coach in ASU history to take the 15-seed spot in the NCAA tournament in 1999.  (They lost in the 1st round to Utah.)

Rumored new coaches??  Nolan Richardson, former University of Arkansas coach (who brought them to three final four appearances and the National Championship in 1994.)

Exciting things happening at ASU!
