Chris Mack is the coach and person Louisville basketball needed

“There are no different eras. This is Louisville basketball.”

And just like that, in the blink of an eye, the University of Louisville basketball program was united.

On Wednesday, new Athletic Director Vince Tyra presented Chris Mack with a personalized Louisville Slugger baseball bat, and Mack took that bat and hit a homerun in his opening press conference as the new men’s basketball coach for the Cards. He said all of the right things, which was expected. The thing is, I 100% believe in the words that he said. He seemed honest and real, not full of coach speak and hyperbole.
