FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas gymnastics assistant coach Felicia Hano turned in her letter of resignation final month, the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette discovered via a current Freedom of Info Act request.
Hano, a four-time All-Pac 12 choice with UCLA (2017-20), was a member of the 2014-15 USA Senior Nationwide Group previous to that.
She dated her resignation letter on June 6, addressed to Katherine Devenport, the chief of workers of the UA Athletics division.
Hano, a former star gymnast at UCLA, joined this system as a volunteer assistant within the fall of 2020 and served in that place for the 2021 season. She was elevated to a full-time assistant’s position final August after the departure of Catelyn Orel, who took over as head coach at Lindenwood College.
Hano’s focus was on the vault and flooring train for Coach Jordyn Wieber, the previous UCLA volunteer coach, who will start her fourth season with the Razorbacks this fall.
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Overshadowed by Arkansas’ 52-point offensive performance was the difficulties the Razorbacks had stopping Tennessee guard Chaz Lanier, who scored 29 points on 10-for-20 shooting, including five threes in a 24-point loss against the No. 1 Volunteers.
Now, the Hogs must deal with a quartet of guards against No. 23 Ole Miss. All four can score in the “randomness” of coach Chris Beard’s system. The Rebels’ top four scorers, Sean Pedulla, Jaylen Murray, Matthew Murrell and Dre Davis are all listed as guards and average double figures.
“These guys run motion,” assistant coach Chin Coleman said. “It’s all random and it’s all different and so, while they’re moving and cutting and screening, you’re going to have to guard every kind of screen there is in the game of basketball. That motion is unpredictable. The freedom of movement, cutting, screening. It’s hard to scheme against. It’s hard to scout.”
Arkansas also must contend with an Ole Miss team that wins the turnover battle on both ends of the floor. The Rebels commit the ninth-fewest turnovers in the country (9.3) and are third-best in turnover margin (+7.0).
“We want to stay on the attack and make plays for one another and not have a lot of live-ball turnovers,” Coleman said. “Those are the ones that we can’t defend against. We want to make teams play against our set defense, which is one of the best in the country. If we can do that and not have live ball turnovers, we’ll be fine.”
Tennessee forced the Razorbacks to commit 15 turnovers, picked up 10 steals and turned it into 13 points. Ole Miss ranks fourth in the SEC at 10.2 steals a game.
Tipoff between Ole Miss and Arkansas is scheduled for 6 p.m. Wednesday and will be broadcast on ESPN2.
