Wake Forest Athletics Director John Currie also voiced disappointment, emphasizing that the incident is out of character for Walter. Both parties acknowledged the hurtful impact of such language.
I am very sorry for my outburst in frustration last night and I recognize the hurt and disappointment it has caused. That language doesn't reflect my values or the standards of this program.
I am both surprised and deeply disappointed in our head baseball coach Tom Walter for his outburst during last night's baseball game. I feel badly for those most hurt by such words.
