Remember that if you have questions you would like to see Coach Walker answer in print, e-mail your questions to chrisstrub@binghamton.edu. In two years of doing this, I’ve gotten two questions via e-mail and both have been answered and printed, so you’ve got a pretty good chance.

Coach, what is the most memorable moment you’ve had in your tenure here at Binghamton University?

(Pause) The first one that comes to mind is Anthony Green’s senior day when we closed the West Gym — at least we anticipated we would close the West Gym. That was a great senior class … Certainly the win in the America East conference tournament (against Albany), the first time we had won a post-season conference game when we hosted the AE conference tournament, and then of course the Vermont game that followed. [But] maybe the very best one was the opening of the Events Center against Hartford, when Brandon Carter put the team on his back and opened the building in primetime fashion; I think he scored 27 points and really opened the Events Center with a bang.

What is your favorite basketball movie of all time, and why?

I would just say “Hoosiers” because it’s the very first movie that I really remember that made such a huge splash, as a cultural statement that basketball was a vivid part of life in middle America.

If you could have dinner and a few drinks with any basketball coach in the country — collegiate, professional or otherwise — who would it be, and why?

It would probably be Phil Jackson (of the Los Angeles Lakers). I think he’s a really intriguing and intelligent person. I think he’s a really intriguing individual.
