It appears that Arrow decided to retire after recently becoming the winningest coach in Sun Belt Conference history. He was in his second run as South Alabama's coach, replacing John Pelphrey several years ago.

South Alabama is 5-5 on the season and coming off a victory over Texas A&M-Corpus Christi. The Jaguars are 2-0 in the Sun Belt Conference after sweeping the Florida trip (Atlantic and International) in late November.

UALR is 8-5 overall and 2-0 in the Sun Belt Conference. The Trojans also faced a team in its first game after a coaching change last season. Under far different circumstances, Ken McDonald was replaced by Ray Harper. UALR lost that game in Bowling Green, Ky.

The press conference started at 3 p.m. Arrow and assistant coach Jeff Price, who is taking over, apparently did not attend. We hope to have more details in a little while.
