Heard from a friend this morning that he'd just received a text from Walter Offutt saying he is leaving Illinois to become the new Director of Basketball Operations at Ball State. Walter was I believe on the Ohio U sweet sixteen team about 4-5 years ago when Groce was at OU. He was an Indpls Warren Central high school all-state player and started his college career at Ohio State before some injuries and then a subsequent transfer to Ohio U. He still has contacts in Indy and it can only help with BSU getting in the door with some of the better prospects there.

Well, he can't recruit or anything like that, but in terms of an Indy kid recognizing his name as being associated with the program, it won't hurt.

That position coordinates all travel arrangements for out of town travel as well as coordinating the filming of games, practices. Other responsibilities I am sure but these are two main ones.
