UCA adds Sartorius to men's basketball staff

CONWAY, Ark. (UCA) - Chris Sartorius is the newest member of the University of Central Arkansas men's basketball coaching staff, head coach Corliss Williamson announced this week.

Sartorius, a former graduate assistant at the University of Arkansas, replaces Anthony Walker, who has left the coaching business to pursue another career.

"According to Coach (Mike) Anderson, he was the hardest working graduate assistant in America,' said Williamson, who played under Anderson while at Arkansas. "His organizational skills, his attention to detail, his work ethic, those are the things that were really attractive about Chris.

"I think he has a great passion for the game of basketball. And he comes from a program that is similar to ours, as far as style of basketball, what we want our program to be. So I think it's going to be a smooth transition for him here at UCA.'
