HoosierJax Posted December 28, 2019 Report Share Posted December 28, 2019 I just seen a head line about Walter getting suspended by Evansville administration..looks like some type of harassment..former IU assistant Bennie Seltzer to take over Head Coaching duties.

Zlinedavid Posted December 28, 2019 Report Share Posted December 28, 2019 The line I read was "Title IX violation". Is that a PC way of saying "sexual harassment"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierJax Posted December 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2019 Apparently he has been warned about his conduct before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OLDIUFAN Posted December 28, 2019 Report Share Posted December 28, 2019 Don’t know any details, but sounds like harassment. He was talked to and warned , and still keep it up! Good for UE for send him out the door! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zlinedavid Posted December 28, 2019 Report Share Posted December 28, 2019 Correct, he has not been fired as of the time of this post. He is suspended (presuming indefinitely) pending an investigation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FKIM01 Posted December 28, 2019 Report Share Posted December 28, 2019 This sounds bad thus far. What a shame...I thought he was a really nice fit for U of E and have always heard good things about Walter. I hope for his sake, this is a lot of noise about nothing...doesn't sound good though.

I’ve mentioned this before, but Walter was with the Celtics my entire time working for the team, and we was one of the nicest, best people that I met working/living in Boston. His wife and little girls were always around the team and front office, at the company holiday parties, etc. This news is really surprising to me, and I’m holding out hope that there is some time of mistake or somehow a miscommunication.

I recall seeing the phrase "Innocent until proven guilty" in a legal textbook once upon a time. I know this isn't a criminal law situation (yet), but I'd like to think that the same principle applies. Sexual harassment/assault is becoming much more widely reported, and that's a good thing. But you have to remember the flip side of the coin: there are unscrupulous individuals who will try to capitalize on this for profit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zlinedavid Posted December 29, 2019 Report Share Posted December 29, 2019 Totally unrelated, but how in the hell did I miss UE having McCarty, Lickliter and Matthew Graves on staff at the same time? For a school the size of UE, that's some pretty big firepower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proud2BAHoosier Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 Aces play their first game without coach McCarty tonight on the road. Interesting to see how the players respond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Officer Obie Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 Still one of the worst days of my life. I didn't grow up in Evansville but I grew up nearby and loved going to Roberts stadium to watch UE play ball. UE had some really great teams.

Did I read somewhere correctly that the one player who wasn't on the plane was killed by a drunk driver shortly after? Unreal if true. 😥 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
