Arkansas Coach Mike Anderson plans to put long-time assistant Matt Zimmerman in an administration role and promote Scotty Thurman to a full-time assistant role.

Thurman was a member of Arkansas' 1994 NCAA Championship team. In fact, it was his 3-point shot with 53 seconds remaining that secured the 76-72 victory over Duke. Arkansas was 85-19 in Thurman's three years playing at Arkansas.

He just completed his sixth season at Arkansas in an administrative role. Under Anderson, he was Director of Student-Athlete Development. Thurman also teamed with Chuck Barrett on the radio broadcasts. Thurman will now be able to recruit as a member of the full-time staff.

Zimmerman came to Arkansas with Anderson from Missouri. Thurman will join Anderson's staff of T.J. Cleveland and Melvin Watkins. Jeff Daniels is still the Director of Operations. All three came to Arkansas with Anderson. Cleveland had worked one season under former Arkansas Coach John Pelphrey.

Anderson has yet to announce this change, but word started surfacing from sources on Monday a change was coming involving Zimmerman and Thurman. Bob Holt of WholeHog Sports was the first to report this.
