Evansville head basketball coach Walter McCarty has been placed on leave pending the outcome of a Title IX investigation.

In an internal letter to University staff Evansville President Pietruszkiewicz wrote:

“The University has received reports of unwelcome conduct by Coach McCarty since his arrival in March 2018. We have counseled him about his behavior. In the last two weeks, the University received a troubling report about Coach McCarty’s interactions with a member of the campus community. We have placed Coach McCarty on leave while that incident is being investigated.”
