Upon Kenny Payne being hired as the head coach of the Louisville Cardinals men’s basketball program, rumors immediately surfaced that Payne would hire his friend and former teammate, Milt Wagner, to his staff.
However, when Payne finalized his coaching staff in late April, Wagner’s name was not listed, and most assumed that was no longer a possibility.
On Tuesday morning, it has been announced and confirmed that Milt Wagner has joined the Louisville staff in a hybrid capacity, as director of player development and alumni relations.
As further evidence, Wagner is already listed on the University’s staff directory.
