Louisville Agrees To 7-Year Deal With Xavier's Chris Mack

Louisville has hired Xavier’s Chris Mack as it’s new men’s basketball coach, after a turbulent season in which the Cardinals were linked to a federal investigation and eventually missed the NCAA Tournament. Louisville’s Athletic Association must approve all contracts and has called a Wednesday meeting about a personnel matter, but did not specify whether it was about coaching vacancy. Mack’s hiring appears to have to only go through the procedural formality of being approved by the ULAA and the school’s board of trustees before becoming official. Mack led the Musketeers to a 29-6 record and the school’s first-ever No. 1 tournament seeding this season but was upset in the second round by Florida State. He was 215-97 in nine seasons at his alma mater with eight NCAA Tournament appearances and a trip to last year’s Elite Eight. Mack’s main goal is getting the Cardinals back into the NCAA Tournament.
