The gift was given to Walker, who is in his second year as Grambling's basketball coach, by his players over the weekend to celebrate his first Division I victory in 36 tries. It's something he can now view daily to put things in perspective.
Grambling beat Alabama A&M this past Saturday to snap a 37-game Division I losing streak (one loss came prior to Walker's arrival in 2014) and won again Monday in overtime against Alabama State to improve to 2-0 in the Southwestern Athletic Conference.
The two wins weren't just wins, especially Saturday's. They were a reminder, or better yet a symbol, of how hard Walker has worked to get his team to its current state. And they almost never happened, at least in Walker's mind as he's navigated through a complete overhaul and rebuilding process at Grambling.
