Chris Mack: College basketball’s new big man on campus

Oh what a time.

Since the hiring of Chris Mack by the University of Louisville basketball program, even the Cardinal fan base has been left in awe. This guy has brought life back into a program that the NCAA had left for dead.

It hasn’t gone unnoticed that, since John Calipari arrived at Kentucky, Louisville has played the role of “little brother” without much resistance. A huge part of that was the fact that a young, hot coach with some attitude in Calipari was finding it all too easy to out-recruit the more tenured Rick Pitino.

We watched it happen to Rick, and now all signs are pointing to Mack pulling the rug out from under Cal.
