According to a report from Courier & Press, former Kentucky player Walter McCarty is one of five finalists for the head coaching job at Evansville.
McCarty is currently an assistant with the Boston Celtics.
The report says the five finalists are McCarty, Travis Steele (Xavier assistant), Calbert Cheaney (former IU player), Greg Gary (Purdue assistant) and David Ragland (Valpo assistant).

Like Cheaney, he’s another former first-round NBA Draft pick who graduated from Harrison High School.
The main difference in the public eye is that McCarty went to rival Kentucky and not IU.
