Louisville Cardinals in talks to separate with men's basketball coach Chris Mack, sources say

The future of Louisville men's basketball coach Chris Mack is in peril, as sources told ESPN the school is engaged in discussions to separate with the fourth-year head coach.

With Louisville hosting Duke on Saturday, the potential looms that Mack will not be on the sideline and has coached his final game there.

A joint meeting between the Board of Trustees and the University of Louisville Athletic Association was suddenly called for Wednesday afternoon "to discuss proposed or pending litigation and personnel matters." Mack's future as Louisville's coach and any potential separation proposal is expected to be discussed at that meeting, according to sources.
