Walter McCarty was in his office at the University of Evansville the other day. He’s spending almost all his time there a week or so after becoming the school’s head basketball coach, and while the job is fitting well, there are still some things Walt needs to work out.
“I got to get the temperature right,” he said. “I’m freezing in here.”

“Man, I get emotional talking about Brad,” he said.
