re: Reports that Chris Mack at Louisville is getting fired tomorrow.

You have to figure Payne would be at the top. And it makes sense. He’s an alum, he’s ready for a HC job, and he’s in a position where he can leave without much issue at the Knicks.

I’d be really surprised if they go with someone who has had some NCAA issues (even if it’s a perception issue) given how they’ve gotten here.

Something else to consider if their money is getting tight. They might not be able to afford some coaches.
