The news just keeps coming. Best wishes to coach Willard on a quick and full recovery.
Here's the press release from U of L:
University of Louisville men's basketball assistant coach Ralph Willard will take a medical leave of absence from the Cardinals' program to attend to a health issue.
Willard, who re-joined head coach Rick Pitino's staff in April, has been advised by doctors to back away from his coaching duties to address his medical condition. There is no timetable on the length of his departure.
David Padgett, UofL's Director of Basketball Operations since April 2014, will move into an assistant coaching position while still managing the operations role.
