Timeline
Royce Waltman (January 8, 1942 – April 7, 2014) was an American college basketball coach, best known for his time as head coach at Indiana State University from 1997 to 2007.
It took just three seasons for Royce Waltman to return the Sycamores to the spotlight, attracting national attention unlike that since the fabled 1978–79 team danced to the NCAA Championship game.
He served an assistant coach on the staff of Bob Knight at Indiana University from the 1981-82 season through the Hoosiers' national championship campaign in 1986-87.
Following his retirement from coaching, he returned to Bloomington as color commentator for Indiana basketball radio broadcasts.
In his initial season at the helm of the Greyhounds, Waltman's squad posted the first winning season since the 1988 campaign, the most wins since 1972 and the most conference wins in school history.
That season also saw Waltman lead Indianapolis to then-school records of eight Great Lakes Valley Conference victories and the championship of the Peach Basket Classic.
The following season his Greyhounds were nationally ranked for the first time in Division II, and he recorded back-to-back winning seasons for the first time in 23 years.
His 1989–90 squad captured the Indiana Collegiate Athletic Conference championship and was national runners-up.
Previously, he coached the University of Indianapolis from 1992 to 1997 and DePauw University from 1987 to 1992.
In 1995–96 Waltman's squad received the school's first-ever NCAA Division II Tournament bid after finishing 20–8 in the regular season.
Indianapolis recorded a school-record 14 wins in the Great Lakes Valley Conference, and Waltman was selected as the GLVC Coach-of-the-Year.
His team posted the school's first postseason win in 32 years in the first round of the NCAA Division II tournament.
In 1996–97, Waltman elevated his program to one of the premier basketball teams at the NCAA Division II level.
The Greyhounds earned an in-season number-one ranking, eventually finishing as the No. 3 ranked team in the nation.
Indianapolis captured the GLVC title with a school-record 23–5 record.
For the second year, Waltman was selected by his peers as the GLVC Coach-of-the-Year, winning 16 games in conference and posting the school record winning streak (18).
Waltman's 1996–97 Greyhounds also established school records for best NCAA Division II season record (23–5) and best NCAA Division II season winning percentage (.821).
Waltman's .645 winning percentage at Indianapolis ranks him as the second-winningest coach in the school's history.
Prior to his stint at Indianapolis, Waltman was the head coach at DePauw University in Greencastle, Ind.
During his tenure at that Division III institution, he compiled a record of 100–36.
He was named as the 1999–2000 Missouri Valley Conference Coach of The Year.
While Waltman will quickly deflect praise for what the 1999–2000 Sycamores accomplished as being due to the diligent efforts of his entire staff, the achievements which he and his program have attained certainly merit mention of the bold face, large type variety.
Be it a mid-December, 63–60, victory at Indiana to claim the Indiana Classic Championship or defeating the Hoosiers again – this time in Terre Haute, recording the University's first 20-win season in 21 years, claiming outright possession of Indiana State's first MVC regular-season title over that same 21-year span or directing the Sycamores to consecutive NCAA Div I Tournament appearances for the first time in the school's history, Waltman's dedication, or to use one of his favorite terms – passion – for his program and the game of basketball are nothing short of amazing.
During his ten seasons on the Sycamores’ sidelines, Waltman has produced 14 All-MVC performers.
In addition, 21 student-athletes have garnered MVC All-Academic plaudits.
Waltman's determination to produce a winning program became apparent in his initial two seasons as the Sycamores captured their first back-to-back winning seasons in 20 years.
Entering year number three, his Sycamores were picked to make a run for the 1999–2000 Missouri Valley Conference Championship.
And run they did, taking the outright MVC regular season title.
Winning games and quickly reversing the fortunes of struggling basketball programs is the hallmark of this veteran coach.
Prior to his arrival at Indiana State, Waltman spent the past decade resurrecting basketball programs at the University of Indianapolis and DePauw University.
As if an encore was needed, Waltman, in his fourth season at Indiana State, he directed the 2000–01 Sycamores to their first MVC Tournament Championship since the 1978–79 campaign - leading Indiana State to consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances.
He returned to coach Indianapolis for the 2007–8 season, before retiring.
He won 100 or more games at each school and led all three to the NCAA National Tournament; in addition, he led them all to conference regular and tournament championships.
His career collegiate record was: 337–263 (.562).
Waltman entered the collegiate ranks after fifteen years as a high school basketball coach in Pennsylvania.
Waltman died at the age of 72 in 2014 after a period of declining health.
His influence and legacy is represented by the Waltman Coaching Tree consisting of Indiana State coach Greg Lansing, Clemson coach Brad Brownell, who played for him at DePauw; Southeast Missouri & former Mississippi State coach Rick Ray, who coached with Waltman at Indiana State; former UM-Kansas City coach Kareem Richardson, University of Southern Indiana coach Stan Gouard and current University of Chicago coach Mike McGrath.
His former assistant Todd Sturgeon succeeded him at UIndy, spending 10 years leading the Greyhounds.
Long-time assistant Dick Bender is on Brownell's Clemson staff.
The Greyhounds were ranked 14th nationally at one point in the season.
