Darrell Walker has acknowledged that Little Rock is where he wants to be, and the University of Arkansas at Little Rock administration did its part to make sure the coach sticks around.
UALR announced Friday that it had reached agreement on a contract extension through the 2023-24 season with Walker, who is entering his third season as the men's basketball coach.
"[UALR] Chancellor Christina Drale and our athletic director, George Lee, have been great to me," said Walker, an Arkansas Sports Hall of Famer who played in the NBA for 10 years after establishing an All-American career at the University of Arkansas.
