The timeline for hiring the new Louisville men’s head basketball coach was always going to be tricky.
On one hand, Cardinal fans are (understandably) eager to turn the page to the next era of U of L hoops as quickly as possible. On the other, there are almost certain to be multiple top tier candidates whose 2022 postseason runs last either slightly or much longer than Louisville’s.
Toss in the fact that there are tons of head coaches who have buyouts dropping on April 1 and the still more than murky timeline for when U of L is going to hear back from the NCAA/IARP, and things become even more difficult to predict.
