New court documents accuse Louisville basketball head coach Chris Mack of threatening to pull players’ scholarships after the team failed to make the NCAA Tournament, among other details emerging from former assistant coach Dino Gaudio’s extortion case.
According to the report by WDRB’s Marcus Green and Travis Ragsdale, Mack’s threat to pull scholarships came during a coaches’ meeting on March 14, with Gaudio fighting back by telling the Louisville coach the school needed to “honor their commitments to the young men they recruited.”
Gaudio also claims he confronted Mack about alleged NCAA recruiting and COVID-19 health and safety protocol violations “at least twice” in the summer of 2020, with the claims centered around organized team workouts.
