Constant ribbing is just part of the gig with the University of Arkansas-Little Rock's men's basketball team. If Coach Darrell Walker isn't giving someone grief, they've probably done something wrong.
Thus, it's not intended to be an insult when Walker says working with junior forward Myron Gardner is "like coaching a freshman."
Gardner, who debuted in UALR's Sun Belt Conference opener Dec. 30, is at his fifth school in as many years. Between transfers and injuries, the Detroit native has played only 28 games since graduating high school in 2019.
A lack of live action wasn't helped when the Trojans had their last three games canceled due to several covid-19 infections two weeks ago.
