FAYETTEVILLE — Hays Myers has been named special assistant to Arkansas men's basketball coach Eric Musselman, according to a release.

Myers, who spent the last three seasons at Nevada with Musselman, was a graduate assistant before working the last two years as the Wolf Pack's director of player development, a position in which he was responsible for gathering and disseminating analytics, film exchange and film preparation for opponent scouting.

Musselman and Myers’ paths first crossed in 2014 at LSU, where Myers served as a student manager for five seasons and Musselman was associate head coach under Johnny Jones.
