officials expect to inform Kenny Payne within the next 24 hours that he will not return as men's basketball coach, sources told ESPN on Tuesday.
Louisville is expected to owe Payne around $8 million, the buyout of what's remaining on the six-year contract he signed when he was hired, sources told ESPN. He finishes his Louisville career with an overall record of 12-52, with just one win away from home."For me, I go back to day one," he said."When I walked into the program as the new head coach, I talked about, I needed everybody on the same page. We sort of forgot that.

The Cardinals then dismissed junior guard Koron Davis in mid-December, hours after announcing he had planned to transfer -- and after Davis announced on social media that he didn't ask to transfer, calling it"disheartening and sad."
