It's incredible the difference in coaching. I think in a few years ESPN will do a 30 for 30 on how a University almost destroyed its elite basketball program by giving the keys to the most under qualified coach in the games history.
I remember arguing vehemently with others here on this board after the 4 and 28 season that no way should KP get a 2nd season. It was so obvious he didn't know what he was doing.
It almost completely ruined my fandom of college basketball. I rarely watched any games the past two seasons, any teams. I didn't watch the NCAA tournament or fill out a bracket. Something I never thought possible as I've been a huge fan since 1980.
All I could think about when a game was on was how Louisville was the keystone cops and I just couldn't deal with it. It was like why bother, my favorite team doesn't exist anymore. Like some have said, we actually did receive the death penalty for the scandal.
But alas, all that is over and although very flawed, this Louisville team makes basketball fun again.
