Head coach Jeff Walz hired five-year letterwinner Cortnee Walton to his staff as the Director of Player Development and Alumni Relations in August 2022. She returns to Louisville after spending the last three seasons working in recruiting operations with the Georgia Tech Women's Basketball program.

Prior to her time at Georgia Tech, Walton was a sideline reporter for the ACC Network Extra and covered women's basketball, men's and women's soccer for the Cardinals. She was also a guest radio host on 790 KRD in Louisville as she provided analysis on current sports topics.

During her playing career with the Cardinals, she played in 139 games at Louisville and graduated with a bachelor of arts in communications in 2015 and a master of science in sport administration in 2017. In her freshman season, the team reached the national championship game for the first time in program history. The Cardinals reached the Sweet Sixteen or farther in four of her five seasons.

In the 2015-16 season, Walton started all 34 games for the Cardinals and was named to the 2015 Allstate WBCA Good Works Team. She was one of five student-athletes selected out of 103 nominees for outstanding contributions in the areas of volunteerism and civic involvement. In her final season with the Cardinals, she started in 30 of 31 games and over her last two seasons, she started in 64 of 65 total games.
