Walter McCarty, a 10-year NBA veteran who played for University of Louisville head coach Rick Pitino in college and professionally, has joined the Cardinals' staff as an assistant coach.

"It's great to have Walter on our staff," said Pitino. "He has all the experience to help our young men grow as people. I have immense confidence in him as a person. Playing ten years in the NBA is no small feat; it's a great accomplishment. He was thinking of potentially playing another year, but I'm glad he chose to be a part of our staff. He's a team player and has always been about winning. His enthusiasm is infectious. I think right now it's a perfect fit with our players. We have about six guys on the team with pro potential, with more coming in. I wanted someone that could relate to them about what the next level is all about."
