Willard has been Pitinos assistant for the past 7 years no head coaching experience, he was in charge of getting Louisville prepared for the east carolina game as Pitino was out for a day or two for a death of a family friend.

According to Pitino Dean is out and Garcia is very doubtful for tomorrows game.
