Oh no! Little Chrissy is upset! He might have to host UK this year in an empty YUM! arena and then go Rupp next year where there will be fans!
The travesty!
Boy that's one BIIIIIG problem you got there Chrissy!
Calipari told you to go Fuck yourself.

If it was Kentucky's year for a home game, I'm sure Mack would generously offer to play in Rupp two years in a row. He's just that kinda doosh....err, I mean guy.

I was soooo excited to open this thread based on the title...great click bait. It's probably not in Macks best interest to dook it out with one of the great operators in the sport. Probably need to sit this one out my man.
Wow. Not a good look for Mack. Nothing to call that except whining.
Reps to MHettel for the concise and accurate thread title.

Well, this could certainly get interesting!
I don't think anything will really change. There was some banter of them possibly playing twice during the 2021-2022 season if the game (or season) was cancelled this year, but since they're going to be a season it probably just means they'll play in a half empty arena. But, who knows? Maybe things will be a little better by then.
And...the overall point of the question he was answering was a good one. UL v UK is a regular series, so that's actually not as tough to work out as some of the other non-regular home-and-homes like UL v UC, which was supposed to start this year in Cincinnati. A lot of schools are trying to get games like that pushed back for this very reason. If it's supposed to be their home game this year, then they don't want to have to play it in front of an empty arena.

I don't like Chris Mack any more than the next guy, but I actually do think he has a better sense of wanting to do what's fair than most other coaches out there. For instance, he stated that he didn't think it was fair to play at Cincinnati in front of no fans this year and then have them come to Louisville the following year, and that he was okay with pushing the start of that series back so both teams could play at home in front of a full arena.
(A bit of a tangent here)...Something is happening that I personally didn't really foresee. When the NCAA shortened the season by four games, it actually isn't the buy games that are mostly getting cancelled. It's the home-and-homes, and it's largely for this reason. Teams don't want to play what would be a good home game in front of an empty crowd. They'd rather postpone it and play it later.
So...what's gonna happen with the Shootout this year?

My guess he did this for 2 reasons. First, because it makes him look good for his friend Coach Brannen and second to set up not playing UK at home in front of no fans.

Perhaps.
But, a lot of schools seem to be wanting out of home and homes rather than their buy games, especially if they are the home team this year. I wonder how much this season will even feel like a college basketball season.

If I’m the road team, I say “it’s on the schedule, LET’S PLAY!” I’d think ONLY the home team would be unhappy about that. So I’m glad Mack has this little dilemma! Let him squirm!

Well, the downside to this is that you need for coaches to be willing to play you in the future. The UL v UK game isn't that big of a deal because it's a regular series. But a school like Baylor probably isn't going to draw that line in the sand when it comes to their game at Gonzaga this year. They'll probably just agree to schedule it when the fans can come.

I think part of the decision is that there are contracts that involve money with these "buy" games. I doubt a school like IUPUI is going to be very receptive on foregoing a $300k payout if a school like butler says "Sorry... we've only got so many games now so we're sticking with our other commitments with the Big 10, Big 12, our exempt tournament and our home and home against so-and-so power 5 school." IUPUI is likely going to want that payout and does paying them make sense without playing the game and pocketing that W to try and stay above .500 by the end of the year. Those midmajors and small majors need that revenue and they are probably willing to go to court over it since it's not like they cancelled the visit.
That being said, I'm sure that Fox Sports and ESPN are also saying "hey, we want these Gavitt games or these ACC/Big 10 matchups to go on because we need some content and we're paying out $$ too".

Absolutely. It used to be that the American way was to play the game and rise to the challenge. Now it seems the American way is to check with the lawyers, assess the risk, run the numbers, and then decide. Very sad.

When was this ever not the American way? Getting back to UL v UK, there was about a sixty year period where UK refused to play them. A lot of schools have never wanted to rise to the challenge when they can instead find a way to claim they have nothing to gain.

Speaking of whiny little (lying) bitches, Arizona is rumored to be looking to dump Gonzaga and Illinois and reschedule for next year. It looks like it’s the good OOC games that are getting dumped and not the buy games.

Hes still a douche and Cal owns his ass just like every good coach.
At this point I am not sure which of the two coaches is bigger whiner, a bigger ham or which one has the bigger ego. And that’s saying a lot when one of the guys is John Calipari.

Yawn.
He got his ass handed to him by Cal for being a "whiny little bitch." And, being the faux tough guy that he is, he's gotta get the last word.
I guess he wins this round? But really, the wins on the court are the ones that matter.
He gonna get trampled.

Not very often you see someone yawn at their own thread.
I'd say Chris Mack handled himself pretty damn well. But then again I don't think of basketball coaches like 14 year olds look at their girlfriends. I don't love them unconditionally and think they can do no wrong when we're together, and then hate them more than anything while obsessing over every single petty little thing once they're gone.

I think Chris Mack is one of the most overrated coaches in the country. I felt that way when he was at Xavier and feel more so now. He gets owned by the true good coaches and save for a couple of decent runs at Xavier, he would never have been in the position to be the Louisville coach. His last year at X was kind of disappointing. I get the Big East championship, but ended the year flat going 5-3, almost losing to a terrible DePaul team and then blowing the NCAA tourney game. He is very good with Twitter though.

This is pretty much where I am. Against the teams that were outside the top 25 he was unstoppable. You can probably count on one hand the games he's lost against unranked teams that he was expected to win. But at the same time, when it comes to the category of 'wins-against-ranked-teams-away-from-home', he doesn't have many. I would classify him as really good, but probably not in the same company as those who really are great.

I know a lot think Mack is overrated, at least give him credit- it isn't all about the tournament, he has the greatest three year run at Xavier. (2 seed, elite 8, 1 seed). And if you put all the stock in the tournament, recognize he got Xavier as far as they have been with a top 5 win in program history. Beating Sean to get to the elite 8 was huge. He also has the best win at Cintas, IMO. Beating the number 1 team in the country- who went on to win the NC.
Top seeds in the tournament, a deep run in march, a big each championship. If he is overrated- I'd sign up for more overrated coaches at Xavier.

Thought I might break out my new, very large ring for good luck during the Shootout tomorrow. I haven’t worn it yet during a game though, and I’m starting to have second thoughts. You see, it represents the same team/season as the brawl. Will it bring good luck, given we crushed UC that year? Or, is its appearance destined to serve as a harbinger of bad things to come? The biggest game, against our arch rivals... seems it would be a shame to forego an opportunity like this to show off such a sparkling, and very huge piece of X history. I’m so conflicted.
