And he landed himself in hot water once again by mistakenly implying Nolan Richardson is dead.

Richardson is regarded as the best to have ever coached the Arkansas Razorbacks.

Current head coach John Calipari oversaw a defeat in the NCAA Tournament on Thursday which saw the Razorbacks bow out of the competition, but Smith believes they are in a strong position.

He had glowing words for Calipari but in praising the coach he made an error, mistakenly killing off Richardson.

Smith said on ESPN’s First Take, “[Calipari’s] gonna be able to recruit better than anybody ever has [at Arkansas] outside of ‘Mr. 40 Minutes of Hell’ himself, the late great, Nolan Richardson. God rest his soul.”

Only Richardson is not dead – he is alive and well at 83 years of age.

Smith apologized for his mistake in the next segment on First Take.

He said, “I am fully aware that Nolan Richardson is alive. Trust me. I apologize for that.
