1/10 – ESPNU Premieres Nolan Richardson Documentary “40 Minutes of Hell”

On Saturday, Feb. 11, at 9 p.m. ET, ESPNU will debut 40 Minutes of Hell, the latest installment in the new SEC “Storied” documentary series. The film explores the rise, fall and re-birth of a legendary coach and a time when the state of Arkansas was at the epicenter of American culture. In the early 1990’s, Arkansas enjoyed unprecedented attention and success.  Former Governor Bill Clinton was sworn in as President of the United States while the University of Arkansas became one of the top men’s college basketball programs in America. The man behind the Razorbacks’ rise to prominence was head coach Nolan Richardson and his “40 minutes of hell” playing style – turn up the pressure for an entire game and the opponent will eventually break down. It was an approach that embodied Richardson’s personality.
