A former Razorback All-American and NBA coach will be the next head men's basketball coach at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, the university said Tuesday.
UALR said in a news release that an official news conference will be held at 9 a.m. Friday at the Jack Stephens Center to introduce Darrell Walker.
UALR's release did not include a statement from Athletic Director Chasse Conque, and the university said that he will be making his comments Friday.
Walker, a former guard at the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, went 45-18 in two seasons as the head coach at Clark Atlanta University, which finished its season March 10 in a 72-61 loss to Claflin in the first round of the NCAA Division II Tournament.
