The University of Louisville is in search of a new head basketball coach, replacing Chris Mack after four seasons with the team. Who could fill the vacancy? Rick Pitino has his choice.
Pitino, who coached at Louisville from 2001-2017, believes former Kentucky associate head coach Kenny Payne is the man for the job.
“I’m hoping inside that they hire Kenny Payne,” Pitino said, via Adam Zagoria of ZagsBlog.
Payne was an assistant under John Calipari at Kentucky from 2010-14 before being named associate head coach from 2014-20.
