LOVE this hire for Louisville who desperately needs a jolt of energy.
Kelsey will provide energy in spades and is a really good X’s and O’s coach.
Will be able to recruit too.
Really happy that Louisville will be competitive again - NEXT YEAR
BREAKING: Louisville is closing in on a deal with College of Charleston’s Pat Kelsey that would make Kelsey the Cardinals head coach, sources told

.
Barring a last-minute breakdown in negotiations, a deal is expected between the two sides.
Kelsey is a Midwest guy…

We don’t need energy. We need someone the fans are excited about and believe In and someone that can coach a style that our fans like. We are a smart b-ball fanbase this isn’t a small college town that needs someone handing out pizzas to students. That shit won’t work here.

It’s all about money now. If they have a strong NIL they can return to prominence in 1 portal season…
95% of kids in the portal are looking for money
@T_Oglesby22
Quite the gamble though. A disciple of Mack coaching tree with less success is not going to get that fanbase excited. Take Kelsey out of it, Heird completely screwed up the search.
@T_Oglesby22
Louisville basketball is dead unfortunately. Fans needed a hire to bring them together not someone to collectively be disappointed about. Botched search from the beginning

Who else wanted him? Did he have any other P5 interest?
All I know is UMass tried and he left them at the altar.
Why does he deserve a historic top 10 program coming from Charleston?
@T_Oglesby22
Can you give some insight on his coaching ability on defense? Because the advanced stats make him look awful. Think he can hire a defensive minded assistant? Otherwise, his time here will be short lived if he thinks he knows how to coach defense and win at this level?
