No stranger to Arkansas Basketball, Scotty Thurman returns to the Razorbacks as Director of Student-Athlete Development for the 2010-11 season following a very good professional basketball and business career. The man who hit the most famous shot in Arkansas basketball history, Thurman joined the Razorbacks in the summer of 2010 to assist Arkansas athletes in their growth as individuals off the court. Tasked with developing programs that make Arkansas’ players more well-rounded people, Thurman takes his charge very seriously and has already scheduled several opportunities for the Razorbacks. Along with his duties as a mentor to Arkansas’ student-athletes, Thurman has also been tasked with bridging the gap between Arkansas’ current and former players. Those results are also noticable as great Razorbacks like Ronnie Brewer, Lee Mayberry and others have already heard the call of one of their own. Thurman also assists with the mentorship of current student-athletes, academics and scheduling. As a player for the Razorbacks, Thurman was with the program for three years before beginning his professional career. He was an All-American as a junior and still ranks 10th on Arkansas’ all-time scoring list with 1,650 points. He continues to hold Arkansas’ single season record for three-point baskets in a season with 102 and ranks second on the career three-point chart with 267. His signature moment, however, came in the finals of the 1994 NCAA Tournament when his three-point basket as time ticked down secured Arkansas a national championship against the Duke Blue Devils. Following his first stint with the Razorbacks, Thurman played 11 seasons of professional basketball overseas in Lebanon, Greece, Cyprus and Italy. His successful pro career came to a close after the 2006 season and he moved to Little Rock, Ark., where he eventually began working for the Episcopal Collegiate School as a teacher and coach. Thurman received a bachelor’s degree from Philander Smith College in 2003. He and his wife Regina have two children, Scotty Jr., and Romani. |
