With the arrival of new basketball coach Pat Kelsey, the 502Circle -- the official collective of University of Louisville athletics -- got a major shot in the arm.

It's been a busy week for everyone connected with men's basketball in any way, since the introduction of Pat Kelsey as basketball coach.

This time a week ago, Louisville basketball fans were still wondering what had happened. They had no idea what was about to hit them.

This kind of agreement between a university and collective is not new in college sports, but it's also not widespread.

The Louisville collective has sparked much interest as it ramps up its activities.
