BETHLEHEM, Pa. – Moravian College head men’s basketball coach Jim Walker has always urged his players to find success at the free-throw line during his 34-year stint in Bethlehem, and the veteran headman will get a chance to practice what he preaches as he heads to the charity stripe to raise money and awareness for cancer research.
Walker will take part in a marathon free throw shooting session beginning on Monday, Jan. 20 and ending on Wednesday, Feb. 12. Coach Walker will shoot freebies for one hour a day for 24 straight days and is asking friends, family and fans of the Greyhounds to pledge $1 for every 1,000 free throws made over the course of the marathon to be donated as part of the National Association of Basketball Coaches vs. Cancer.
