No argument on the Louisville coaching job. I can't imagine a scenario where Pitino coaches this year so I just thought it would be surprising that Shaka would leave Texas right before the start of the season having not coached a game there.
If Pitino does make it through this year - which I think might be less than 5% chance - then perhaps Shaka would leave Texas after only 1 season. They just signed that huge deal with Nike, though, so there's probably plenty of money to keep him there.

Blows texas out of the water? Not quite. With the all the money texas has and awesome recruiting territory it wouldnt take much to turn that program into a top 10 team every year. Not sure why smart would leave a team with no future ncaa issues for a team that more than likely has some sanctions on the way. Id look more towards the direction of a mid major coach looking for a power conference job. Lets be honest here that uofl job isnt looking like a dream job right now

Yea Charlie Strong thought so as well hows that working out. Sanctions don't last forever UK knows all about that as they have had more than Louisville over the last several decades. YES Louisville is not a better coaching job not in the right now but Texas is not a basketball school never has been never will be. What have they done in say....................forever there.
Texas is a top twenty program every year in basketball now and what happens every year. They wilt like Walmart flowers after you get them home every single year.
UK fans are wetting their pants over this but it won't last forever so enjoy it.

I had it in my head that Louisville got a 1 year post-season ban at some point in the late 90's...but Wikipedia didn't have it listed.
Ah well, bottom line is that the Cards and the Cats are fairly even in the "oh crap" department.
And, if you look at the list of schools that have ever had NCAA Basketball sanctions or post-season bans, the list is long and distinguished. There's a lot of company in detention hall.
