Louisville Basketball: Strength and Conditioning a Stark Contrast Under Chris Mack

New Louisville Men’s Basketball coach Chris Mack made some quick changes to the Yum! Center practice facilities upon his arrival to campus.

The weight room, lined with treadmills for years, added more weights, and removed a lot of the cardio machines. New Strength and Conditioning Coach Andy Kettler- who spent the last decade at West Virginia- went to work immediately, and has the Cards already looking like a different team.

Under Rick Pitino, Louisville was one of the most in-shape teams in the country. Pitino was notorious for punishing players during practice by making them hit the treadmills after making even the smallest mistakes.
