Basketball wise, the school is similar to IU tradition wise. I see Pearl as a helluva coach. One that wants to win and also show everyone else he knows how to do it. He will win any where he goes for sure. The question is will the wins stick and 8 believe he has enough fall guys to stay safe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UL maybe....not Maryland though....and even that would be a long shot....I mean there is a lot of competition in state now but imagine being second fiddle in Kentucky. It would be like being asked to coach at Purdue lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5fouls Posted January 24, 2022 Report Share Posted January 24, 2022 (edited) Given his reputation, and their recent 'issues', if Louisville were to hire Pearl, that would be the biggest middle finger ever given to the NCAA. Actually, it would be kind of fun to watch it unfold. Edited January 24, 2022 by 5fouls 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted January 24, 2022 Report Share Posted January 24, 2022 Living close to, and working in, Louisville, I actually want them to be good. Not because I like them, because I dont. But when they are better than UK, those are fun times in this area. Nothing gets a UK fan's drawers in a wad more than UL being better than them. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might as well stay and get your degree TJD biggest problem is his outside shot. The one i am curious about is what has happened to Newman, he looks like he doesn't even belong on a division one team anymore.

He is lost he isn’t explosive enough to go around defenders without a long pump fake which everyone knows is coming not a good ball handler or passer he needs to play like Morton or Galloway….D up…move the ball..shoot when wide open. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also mentioned that Maryland should go after Pearl. Imagine the first game in Champagne, if Maryland hired Pearl. That would be awesome.

Their President resigned in December to go to Penn State. Their AD resigned the same day, not knowing the President was leaving.

rico Posted January 25, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 The Lexington Herald-Leader on Coach Mack: The hire looked smart. In nine seasons, Mack had gone 215-97 at his alma mater. His Musketeers had made eight NCAA Tournaments, including four Sweet 16 berths and a 2017 Elite Eight appearance. His wife, Christi, is from Louisville, where she played basketball at Holy Cross High School before starring at Dayton. It was a chance for Mack to coach in the ACC. It hasn’t worked out, however. Not to this point, anyway. The Cards were 20-14 and a first-round NCAA Tournament knockout Mack’s first season. They were 24-7 overall and 15-5 in the ACC his second, the year COVID-19 canceled the NCAA Tournament. And it has been all downhill from there. Louisville’s 13 wins in 2020-21 were overshadowed by the seven losses. The Cards were crushed by 37 at Wisconsin (85-48), by 45 at North Carolina (99-54), by 14 in the ACC Tournament against Duke (70-56). Chronic COVID-19 pauses offered legitimate excuses, at least before bad became embarrassing. https://www.kentucky.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/john-clay/article257696118.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier51 Posted January 26, 2022 Report Share Posted January 26, 2022 As much crap that has been tied to the Louisville program I think they will go with someone safe. Kenny Payne in my opinion is who they will hire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
