Officer Jason Willingham said Monday that the younger Richardson's wife found him in a chair in their south Tulsa home about 3 p.m. Sunday. A cause of death wasn't immediately released but Willingham said the 47-year-old's death appears to be from natural causes.

Tennessee State Athletics Director Teresa Phillips said in a statement she was saddened to hear of Nolan Richardson III' s death.
He was head coach there from 2000 to 2003 and compiled a 23-41 record.
