INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.- University of Indianapolis Head Men's Basketball Coach Todd Sturgeon announced today that Royce Waltman has been added to his staff and will join the Greyhounds for the coming 2007-08 season.  Waltman, who was most recently the head coach at Indiana State, was the UIndy head coach from 1992-97.

Waltman will serve as the team's defensive coordinator and will join current Assistant Coach Fred Andrews in the evaluation of opponents.  Waltman returns to Indianapolis after a decade with the Sycamores.   During his ten years at the helm at ISU, Waltman compiled a 134-164 record, including a 13-18 mark this past season. Under Waltman, the Sycamores took the 2000 MVC regular season title as well as the 2001 MVC Tournament crown and reached the NCAA Division I Tournament twice.

The Waltman-Sturgeon tandem dates back to Sturgeon's playing days at DePauw University.  The pair brought the Tigers to the NCAA Division III championship game.  After his playing days, Sturgeon would join Waltman as an assistant coach, posting an 82-29 (.739) ledger in four seasons at DePauw.  When Waltman landed the head job at UIndy, Sturgeon followed as his assistant, helping the Hounds to an 89-49 (.645) mark in five seasons and two NCAA Division II tournament berths.

Waltman and his wife, Carole, have a daughter, Suzanne, a son, Kevin, and two grandchildren, Samuel and Lilly.
