EVANSVILLE, Ind. – Due to medical reasons, University of Evansville freshman men's basketball player William Becker will leave the Purple Aces program and is retiring from the sport of college basketball.
"William has worked exhaustively with our medical staff and orthopedic specialists to get back on the floor," Aces Director of Athletics Mark Spencer said. "Unfortunately, he has not been able to make the progression that we all hoped for."
Evansville head men's basketball coach Walter McCarty echoed those sentiments.
"We support William and his decision to retire from the sport of basketball," McCarty said.
