Tuesday was Jeff Walz birthday but the coach wasn’t eating any cake. Not having any part of the sweet stuff two weeks into a strict diet.
“I’m not touching that,” he said, when a red and white cake loaded with calories and candles was delivered to him during a media day press conference at the Swain Center.
Walz, 44, was more excited about discussing his ninth year as women’s basketball coach at the University of Louisville. He chose the occasion to announce that Dakota Weatherford, a 5-foot-5 junior transfer from Evansville University has been awarded a full scholarship.
