LOUISVILLE, KY: There is a tipping point that is eventually reached by both parties in most unsuccessful relationships, whether they be sexual, platonic, or even business-related between two firms or organisations.
At this point, the connection can no longer be sustained. Before reaching the tipping point that ultimately leads to the breakup, there are many warning signs that indicate the relationship in issue is toxic.
On Wednesday, December 13, the men’s basketball programme at Louisville and its toxic relationship with head coach Kenny Payne came to that.
During a period filled with unexplainable low moments since Payne’s inaugural game, the Cardinals managed to not only touch bottom, but also rise above it to the point that they’re likely on the verge of breaking through the Earth’s crust.
(WDRB) LOUISVILLE, KY The basketball team at the University of Louisville took a heinous beating in the first half of a home game against Virginia, one day after athletic director Josh Heird said that the team “isn’t into moral victories.”
After falling behind 41-11, the Cards were behind 41-13 at the half. It was the biggest halftime deficit since December 10, 1938, and the third biggest in programme history. Lawrence Apitz was the coach at the time, and he had a meagre 10-52 record in four seasons at Louisville. However, it should be noted that he was also the football team’s coach.
The lowest winning % in school history is not his.161. William Gardiner, Louisville’s first coach, had a 0-3 record. He was replaced by three coachless seasons during which U of L won 36% of its games. John O’Rourke, Louisville’s sixth coach, had a 1-13 record with a.071 winning %. All those events (except from Apitz) took place over a century ago.
