My parents did a great job of raising me, and my grandparents [too]. We all live and learn, we all make mistakes and we all do things. “But the guidance and the support of the people who have always influenced us in everything we do at a young age…I think the message would be you’re al- ways influencing kids whether you know it or not,” he continued. “I’ve been around some really good coaches that have taught me how to do things and I’ve been around some coaches that have taught me how not to do things as well.” Walton plans on coaching the Gators for now, stating that he loves the job, the university, who he works for and the play- ers. He says he doesn’t plan on leaving. But if his life goals change and there’s a reason to do something different, then he would do that.
