In Lands last game he scored 40 and made 7 3ptrs.

But can he cover the corner 3?

 

[Orangello]

On to the next coach. Adios escoria.

It’s crazy how bad Mack has faltered at Louisville. He had Xavier as a top 5 team one of his final seasons there and top 25 or top 25 contenders for most of his tenure. No idea what’s gone wrong at the Ville but that Dino Gaudio debacle was a horrible look last year.

Even though Mack was very successful at Xavier, I was really surprised they didn't keep Padgett, the interim after Pitino. He did a good job given the terrible circumstances.

Thought the same. Plus everything they were doing absent the scandal, was a winning formula.

Maybe what's gone wrong with Louisville is just Louisville.

Maybe what's gone wrong with Louisville is not Mack, but Louisville.

You have a point, they don't have a university president or an AD. No NIL money from Papa John's?

.648 winning percentage at Louisville, for comparison in that same timespan, JB's best winning percentage season was last season at .643

Basketball was only a small reason he was let go.

 

[kingtidge]

Disagree. I don’t think anyone has quit on anyone here. I don’t doubt the effort of any player. Nor do I doubt that JB isn’t trying his damndest to win

If he was trying his damndest to win, we'd have recruited better players and the team would not be built around his two sons as the stars.

After John Schnatter's racist outburst, they've cut way back on connections to Papa John's. IIRC, they revoked the naming rights to the stadium and returned the money.

So there will be no return of the mack.

 

[SUOrangeSU]

Did something happen in the last 48-72 hours that made them make this move so sudden?
I know all the violations stuff has been looming but what happened recently?

One of their players said "No comment" or something to that effect in a postgame presser when asked if the players had tuned out Mack.

 

[JaySU22]

Wild that he flamed out. It was seen as a home run hire. Can’t imagine they’ll do better now with sanctions looming (hopefully)
