Arkansas announces hire of new assistant basketball coach Gus Argenal

The Razorbacks have just officially added to Eric Musselman’s coaching staff as former Cal State Fullerton associate head coach Gus Argenal is now a member of the Arkansas program.

The school announced the addition of Argenal on Monday. Argenal had been with Cal State Fullerton for two seasons.

Before landing a job with Cal State Fullerton, Argenal worked for Musselman at Nevada. During Argenal’s final two seasons at Nevada under Musselman, the program went to back-to-back NCAA Tournaments and won the Mountain West Championship each of those seasons.

Argenal also has experience as a head coach as he previously led the Cal State East Bay Pioneers program.
