Ross McMains named third Louisville basketball assistant

Chris Mack has rounded out his staff for the 2021-22 Louisville men’s basketball season with the hiring of Ross McMains as U of L’s third assistant coach.

The 32-year-old McMains is an interesting hire in that he has no prior experience when it comes to coaching college basketball. He was born in New Hampshire, but spent his childhood and his professional career going back-and-forth between the U.S. and New Zealand.

McMains spent time with both the New York Knicks and the Sacramento Kings, and most recently was an assistant coach with Melbourne United of the Australian NBL.
