HEAD COACH BILL WALKER:

Missouri S&T is seeking to reverse its recent fortunes in men’s basketball and turned to a former member of the program to do just that, as Bill Walker begins his second season as the head coach for the Miners.

Walker, who became the 15th head coach in the history of the Miner program on April 1, 2019, had spent the five previous seasons as the head coach at the University of Illinois Springfield – who competes in the Great Lakes Valley Conference along with Missouri S&T – and returned to the place where he played his collegiate basketball from 1984-87 under Billy Key.

Since completing his playing career, Walker – who graduated from Missouri S&T in 1987 with a bachelor’s degree in history – went into the coaching ranks as a graduate assistant under legendary coach Gene Bartow at the University of Alabama-Birmingham. In his last season at UAB, the Blazers finished third in the National Invitational Tournament.

He moved on to become a full-time assistant at two institutions that the Miners were competing against at the time in the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association, first for seven seasons at the University of Missouri-St. Louis and then for three years at the University of Central Missouri in his hometown of Warrensburg, Mo.

After his time at UCM, Walker moved up to the NCAA Division I ranks as he spent eight years as an assistant coach at the University of Minnesota, where the Golden Gophers recorded five winning seasons and an NCAA Tournament berth in 2005, along with four appearances in the National Invitational Tournament. While at Minnesota, he helped recruit Big Ten “Freshmen of the Year” Rick Rickert in 2002 and Kris Humphries in 2005, as well as bringing in a recruiting class in 2001 rated as one of the top 10 in the nation that year.

Walker left Minnesota following the 2006-07 season to join the staff at Texas A&M University, where he spent the next four seasons and helped the Aggies to four consecutive trips to the NCAA Tournament; three of those teams advanced to the second round of the tournament. Texas A&M had a record of 97-40 during those four seasons when Walker was a member of its staff.

Following the time at Texas A&M, Walker worked for two seasons as a professional scout for the New Orleans Hornets of the National Basketball Association before returning to the coaching ranks in 2013 as an assistant coach at Drake University. Following one season at Drake, Walker was named as the head coach at UIS, where he took the Prairie Stars to back-to-back 14-win seasons after they had finished below the .500 mark in seven of their first eight years as a member of the GLVC.

Missouri S&T went 6-20 during Walker’s first season at the helm of the program.

Athletics run deep in the Walker family. His father, Floyd, served as the director of athletics at Central Missouri and is a member of the National Association of Collegiate Director of Athletics Hall of Fame, while his sister, Barbara, is the deputy athletic director and senior woman administrator at Wake Forest University. Walker’s son, Vince, played for him at UIS and is in his second season as a graduate assistant coach at Pittsburg State University. 2020-21 MISSOURI S&T MEN’S BASKETBALL 3 GLVC Standings About the Opponent: (Through Nov. 27, 2020) Maryville: The Saints will be playing their first contest under the direction of new head coach Jesse GLVC Overall Shaw, who came from cross-town Missouri-St. Louis to head a team that finished 5-22 last llinois Springfield 1-0 1-0 Lindenwood 1-0 1-0 year and won just once in in 20 conference games.
