Coaches Love CJ Walker Because He Is One Of Them

Jason Delaney has no shortage of CJ Walker stories.

There’s that time many years ago when, as the boy’s basketball coach of Indiana’s Arsenal Tech, he went to an eighth-grade game in his school’s district to see eventual Xavier stud Paul Scruggs but came away wanting to know more about the point guard whose mother he happened to sit next to. He still remembers when Walker told him he planned to attend the high school at which he coached, and he can think back to when he saw the then-middle-schooler win an AAU game by taking a charge.
