All coaches use Xavier as a stepping stone. Mack went there because they were somewhat revenant even with a vacated title, you could get guys into Louisville a lot easier than at Xavier, no pressure, with atleast 5 years to build that train wreck up again. and lastly they play in the acc. If we know anything espn loves them some acc basketballWhy did Mack take the UL job..... It wasnt a step up from Xavier. I mean look UL only has like 150 wins this entire decade.
