Mack, whose tenure at Louisville ended in Jan. 2022, takes the position of head coach after Pat Kelsey accepted Mack's former job at Louisville. Kelsey had a 75-27 record in three seasons at Charleston before accepting the position at Louisville this week.

Amy Shoemaker, U of L’s former deputy general counsel and associate athletics director, makes the allegations in a whistleblower lawsuit against the school.

Sources say Chris Mack had a delightful laugh when he beat John Calipari for the first time in three seasons last December.

During the suspension, Mack is prohibited from having any contact with the men’s basketball coaching staff or players.

The University of Louisville men’s basketball program received official word that its ongoing issues with NCAA rules violations has expanded to the current coaching staff with a pair of likely Level II violations.

On Friday, the university took the rare step of suspending its head basketball coach without pay for the season's first six games, without pay. 

Job one for Chris Mack when he became head coach of the University of Louisville basketball program in 2018 was not winning an NCAA championship.

Why would Louisville put itself at risk of more NCAA scrutiny by disregarding even minor rules during a time when the program has another case grinding its way through the NCAA infractions process?
