Louisville Parts Ways with David Padgett; Interim HC Will Seek Other Opportunies

David Padgett's tenure as Louisville's interim basketball coach has come to an end after one season.

The 33-year-old told Evan Daniels of 247Sports that Louisville informed him it was moving in a different direction.

"They are going in a different direction," Padgett said. "They appreciated my efforts and everything I did with this team and to make it a good situation; obviously they wished me nothing but the best, and I feel the same about the university."

Padgett added he intends to pursue other head coaching opportunities after leading the Cardinals.

"Now I need to turn my attention to getting another head coaching job somewhere else," he said.
