NASHVILLE, Tenn. There was a Nutt family reunion in Bridgestone Arena this weekend at the SEC Tournament.
Dickey Nutt was on the Missouri bench as an assistant coach. His brothers, Dennis and Houston Nutt,were in the stands cheering on the Tigers.
A fourth Nutt brother, Danny, wasn’t able to attend the SEC Tournament because of work obligations.
Coaching careers have taken the brothers who all starred as basketball and football players at Little Rock Central High School to different parts of the country, so they appreciated the opportunity for three of them to be together this weekend.
