Former KU guard Rex Walters ready to coach again after year at Nevada

After serving as special assistant to Nevada basketball coach Eric Musselman during the 2018-19 season, and two years before that working as a coach in Stan Van Gundy’s Detroit Pistons organization, Rex Walters feels he’s well-equipped for his next coaching opportunity, wherever that may be.

“This year was great. Working for Eric Musselman … it was a lot of fun. He and his staff worked extremely hard; we’d get after it,” Walters, a 49-year-old former Kansas guard said Monday in a phone conversation. “It was great being around really good players, seeing how they go about their business,” Walters added of the Wolf Pack players, who went 29-5 and reached the NCAA Tournament.
