Former Arizona interim and Grand Canyon coach Russ Pennell has been hired as the head coach at Central Arkansas, sources told ESPN.

Central Arkansas (6-19, 3-11 Southland) has had interim coach Clarence Finley in charge of the program this season after Corliss Williamson, who was 26-62 in the last three seasons, left to join the Sacramento Kings' coaching staff in the NBA.
