Louisville head coach Chris Mack is the latest college basketball figure to test positive for Covid-19.
Louisville’s next game, versus Pitt on Wednesday, has been postponed.
In an interesting twist, former Waking e Forest coach Dino Gaudio will be the interim coach for the Cardinals.
Fortunately for Mack, he has mild symptoms and should make a full recovery and the truth is that most people involved in college basketball, particularly Power Five programs, have minimal risks.
Why?
Because they get tested frequently and also have access to top-flight medical care. Smaller schools probably have more risk but even so, they get tested on a regular basis and get intervention quickly.
