Walsh named new Centenary coach

NCAA Basketball Betting Lines

05/11/2010 - Shreveport, LA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Centenary has named Adam Walsh its next men's head basketball coach.

Walsh takes over for Greg Gary who resigned last week after two seasons at the helm. Walsh had been an assistant for the Gents the last three years. He will also assume the role of assistant athletic director.

"When we looked into the future and determined the qualities that we needed in our next head coach, the decision to promote Adam Walsh became an easy one. His familiarity with our institutional objectives and the transition process as well as his relationships with the current student-athletes make him the perfect choice," said Centenary director of athletics Dr. Tom Tallach.

Before joining Centenary in 2007 Walsh held assistant coaching positions at Paris Junior College, Odessa College and Division II Barton College.

Gary guided Centenary to a 16-44 record in his two years of service, including an 8-21 mark last season.
