Head men’s basketball coach Walter McCarty suspended one game

McCarty will miss Saturday’s game at UNI

 Missouri Valley Conference Commissioner Doug Elgin has announced that University of Evansville head men’s basketball coach Walter McCarty has been suspended for Saturday’s game at UNI following comments McCarty made that were critical of the officiating on the postgame radio show following Wednesday’s game at Drake.

“I accept full responsibility for what happened, I know the referees have a tough job and I let my emotions get the best of me,” McCarty said.  “I apologize to the referees, the MVC and the University of Evansville community and our team.  This is not the way I want to represent those groups and will use this as a learning tool for myself going forward.”

McCarty will miss Saturday evening’s road game at UNI in Cedar Falls.  He will be back on the sideline next week when the Aces return home to face Bradley on Wednesday evening.
