Ball State welcomes Whitford

Ball State University welcomed new basketball head coach, James Whitford today. Whitford coached previously at Arizona, Xavier and Miami.

Aside from the Cardinals' promising young team, adding Whitford to the mix has made some high hopes for Cardinal fans and the Ball State community. Ball State held a press conference to introduce Whitford, and afterwards, he spent time with the community at the Muncie Downtown YMCA.

Whitford replaces Billy Taylor who coached the Cardinals for six seasons.
