A blast from the past.
Hogs basketball are looking for a new HC. I read the below this morning and said, hmmm name sounds familiar.

Glad he's being considered but don't really know how good he'll be, his recent UALR record isn't that impressive. Also, didn't know he was a HC for the Raptors & Wizards pre-2001. I seem to recall his nickname was "skywalker".
Quote:
Walker, 63, was the Ohio Valley Conference Coach of the Year after leading the Trojans to a 21-13 record this season and share of the OVC regular-season championship. He also won Sun Belt Conference Coach of the Year in 2020 when UALR won the regular-season conference title with a 21-10 record. His overall record at UALR in six seasons is 82-99.
An All-American guard at Arkansas as a senior in 1983, Walker played 10 seasons in the NBA and was an NBA head coach for the Toronto Raptors and Washington Wizards. He also was a long-time NBA assistant coach, and a head coach in the WNBA and CBA.
