— LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — Nolan Richardson said he’s no longer a candidate to become the basketball coach at Arkansas State.
Richardson has been out of college coaching since 2002, when he was fired by Arkansas. He said last week he was talking to Arkansas State, which has had an opening since Dickey Nutt resigned Feb. 19.
Richardson said he and Arkansas State decided to move in different directions. He made it clear Tuesday that he’s still interested in coaching — but only in the right situation.
