"Coach Kelsey is one of the most passionate coaches I've ever been around! From trying to guard me in practice and pushing me and my teammates to be the best version of ourselves, he will be a great addition and advocate for Louisville! Congrats Coach Kels!!"

Chris Paul, NBA Star & Former Wake Forest Guard

“Pat Kelsey stepping up as the new head coach for Louisville is a testament to his dedication, innovative mind, and the respect he commands on and off the court. As someone I've shared countless strategy sessions with, I've witnessed firsthand his exceptional ability to understand the game and inspire those around him. Pat's approach to basketball is not just about plays; it's about building a culture of excellence and resilience. Louisville has gained not just a coach, but a visionary leader who will no doubt propel the program to new heights. I couldn't be prouder to see him take on this role, and I'm excited for the journey ahead.
