Pelphrey joins team on court

— Arkansas senior forward Charles Thomas noticed something odd about Coach John Pelphrey's ankles before Friday's Red-White intrasquad game.

"I was looking at his ankles in the locker room, and I was like, 'Is that tape?' " Thomas said. "When I asked him about it, he wouldn't say anything.

"I figured something might be up, but I didn't know for sure until he came in the game."

Pelphrey, 39, became a player-coach for his Razorbacks and delighted the crowd of 5,832 at Walton Arena when he took off a sweatshirt, put on a practice jersey and came off the bench for the White team with 8:45 left in the first half.
