Richardson
looking to break
one more barrier
DENVER (AP) — Nolan Rich
ardson remembers his high
school days in west Texas when
he wasn’t allowed to watch South
west Conference games.
Now he’s got a Southwest Con
ference team two games away
from a national championship.
In 22 years of coaching, Rich
ardson has knocked down one ra
cial barrier after another and left
people smiling. He has taken jobs
because of the challenges they
presented and because he felt
obliged to try to open doors for
other blacks.
Only one hurdle remains, and
it has nothing to do with color.
“In this tournament a lot of
people talk about the money,”
Richardson said this week. “But
I’m different. I’m an old-fash
ioned guy. I’m playing for the
trophy.”
It’s the kind of remark you
would expect from Richardson,
who has been a winner at every
level.
He was raised by his grand
mother in El Paso, Texas, where
he was all-state in football, base
ball and basketball. He says he
never felt the sting of prejudice
while growing up in a predomi
nantly Hispanic neighborhood,
but he was subject to discrimina
tion.
That’s the way it was in the
South. Richardson knew that. He
also knew it wasn’t right, so he
worked to change attitudes.
He became the first black
coach at a mixed-race high school
in El Paso. His teams went 190-80
in his 10 seasons, and three times
he was named coach of the year.
Then it was on to Western
Texas Junior College in Snyder,
Texas, where he became the first
black head coach at any junior
college in the state.
Richardson took his team to

the national junior college tour
nament each of his three years
there, capping it with a national
championship in 1980. Then he
moved to Tulsa, where — again
— he became the first black head
coach at the school.
In the spring of 1985, Richard
son moved east to the University
of Arkansas, where he became
the first black head coach in the
conference.
Eddie Sutton left behind
strong players. Richardson lilts
smaller, quicker, faster playersio
his up-tempo style.
Arkansas went 12-16, although
Richardson admits he wasniter
ribly interested in the won-loss re
cord because his daughter
Yvonne, was growing sicker wh
leukemia.
It wasn’t pleasant.
“I was told, ‘Here’s a Final
Four basketball team.’ We weren't
very good,” Richardson said. “We
tried real hard, we had some
good-looking athletes. But we
did n’t have what you’d call real
good basketball players.”
The following season, Arkan
sas began to turn things around
The Razorbacks went 19-14 and
played in the NIT. Hut the sen:
tiny of the program was as in
tense as ever. One newspaper
headline read: “Richardson Is
History.”
“Even though things were get
ting better as far as I was con
cerned, looking at our program,!
don’t think 1 was reaching what
some of the people were wanting
to be done overnight,” he said
think I was supposed to be some
thing like Moses, come in here
and deliver the people — bingo!
— and it’s over with. It didn’t
work that way.
“I had brutal articles the dav
after my daughter died. It didnt
even give me a chance to grieve
over something I lost.”
With Richardson able to re
cruit his kind of players, Arkan
sas has returned to the kind of
success Sutton enjoyed. The Ra
zorbacks were 21-9 in 1987-88,
25-7 last season and will go into
Saturday’s national semifinal 30-
4.
Richardson now says he’s as
happy as can be. Razorback fans,
he says, are the best in the coun
try. But when times were ba:
when the wolves were howiin;
Richardson gave serious consk
eration to leaving.
It was a talk with his daughter,
who died in 1987, that changed
his mind.
