In his first season at Louisville, Murray helped the Cardinals produce a 20-14 record and earn a berth in the NCAA Tournament while facing the na- tion’s fourth-toughest schedule. Picked 11th in the preseason ACC poll, the Cards achieved a 10-8 re- cord and earned a tie for sixth in the final standings. As the Cardinals’ recruiting coordinator, he was in- strumental in building UofL’s six-man 2019 signing class, which ranked ninth in the nation by ESPN. com, 10th by Rivals.com and 11th by 247sports. com. His efforts had him recognized as one of the top five recruiters in the nation by 247Sports. “Luke Murray is a superstar,” said Mack. “No detail goes unnoticed with Luke. Whether it’s working with our perimeter players, scouting, or recruiting, Luke ex- cels. He’s one of the most organized, detailed and high-energy recruiters that I’ve ever been around. He carries the role of recruiting coordinator on the staff and allows us to leave no stone unturned when searching for the next University of Louisville great.” Before joining the Cardinals, Murray operated on college basketball staffs for 11 seasons at Xavier, Rhode Island, Towson, Wagner and Arizona. During his three seasons at Xavier (2015-18), the Mus- keteers produced an 81-26 record (.757) and ad- vanced in the NCAA Tournament each year. Their 2017-18 squad achieved a 29-6 record, won Xavier’s first Big East Conference regular season champion- ship, earned the school’s first-ever No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament and finished third in the final Asso- ciated Press poll. In addition, Murray played a key role as the Xavier staff assembled three straight nationally- ranked recruiting classes. Murray worked two years at Rhode Island under current Connecticut coach Dan Hurley (2013-15), including the 2014-15 season when the Rams fin- ished 23-10 overall, tied for second in the Atlantic 10 Conference and earned an NIT berth. Preceding his time at Rhode Island, Murray spent two seasons (2011-13) as an assistant coach at Tow- son under Pat Skerry. In 2012-13, he helped Tow- son orchestrate one of college basketball’s greatest turnarounds as the Tigers set an NCAA record for the best one-season improvement, rising from a one-win campaign in 2011-12 to an 18-13 mark and a sec- ond-place finish in the CAA in 2012-13. He was an integral part in attracting the top-rated recruiting class in the CAA for 2012-13, including 2013 and 2014 CAA Player of the Year and former Utah Jazz forward Jerrelle Benimon. Murray was an assistant coach for the 2010-11 season under Hurley at Wagner College in Staten Is- land, N.Y. In the 2009-10 season, Murray served as a graduate assistant on the Ari zona staff under former Xavier head coach Sean Miller, while working on his master’s degree in educational psychology. Mur ray broke into the collegiate coaching field as the director of basketball operations at Quinnipiac in the 2007- 08 season. A native of Palisades, N.Y., Murray earned a de- gree in sociology from Fairfield in 2007.

In his first season at Louisville last year, Pegues helped the Cardinals produce a 20-14 re- cord and earn a berth in the NCAA Tournament while facing the nation’s fourth-toughest schedule. Picked 11th in the preseason ACC poll, the Cards achieved a 10-8 record and earned a tie for sixth in the fi- nal standings. His efforts aided the Cardinals in as- sembling an impressive six-man 2019 signing class, which ranked ninth in the nation by ESPN.com, 10th by Rivals.com and 11th by 247sports.com. “Mike Pegues is one of the best post coaches in the country,” said Mack. “He does a terrific job of teaching footwork, positioning and under- standing of the game. Having been with me for the past six seasons, it’s been impressive to see the development of big men during Mike’s tenure. Our players will love his energy, IQ for the game and his sincerity. His relationships with coaches around the country have allowed us to recruit from some of the best high school pro- grams in the nation.” During Pegues’ six seasons at Xavier (2012- 18), the Musketeers produced a 142-67 record (.679) and advanced to the NCAA Tournament on five occasions, reaching an Elite Eight and Sweet 16. Xavier’s 2017-18 squad achieved a 29-6 record, won Xavier’s first Big East Conference regular season championship, earned the school’s first-ever No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament and finished third in the final Associated Press poll. Pegues (pronounced puh-GEESE) contributed significantly to Xavier gathering multiple nation- ally-ranked recruiting classes, including three straight top 20 ranked classes in his final three years there. Before his arrival at Xavier, Pegues spent two seasons as an assistant coach at his alma mater, the University of Delaware, under head coach Monté Ross. Delaware finished 18-14 in Pegues’ final season, including a 12-6 record in the CAA.

In his first season at Louisville last year, Gaudio aided UofL in earning a 20-14 record while advanc- ing to the NCAA Tournament against the nation’s fourth-toughest schedule. Picked 11th in the pre- season ACC poll, UofL achieved a 10-8 record and earned a tie for sixth in the final standings. He helped the Cardinals land a terrific six-man 2019 top 10 signing class. Before joining UofL, Gaudio most recently served as a basketball analyst for ESPN for eight years, but has extensive collegiate coaching experi- ence and has previously worked with Mack. “Dino Gaudio is a home run for us,” said Mack. “He’s trusted, loyal and a person that I have always looked up to in this profession. Not many head coaches have the luxury of having a former head coach in the ACC on staff. Dino’s role on the floor coaching our players will be immense. Our players will benefit in ways that other staffs can’t duplicate. I’m excited to get him out of the studio and on to the basketball court where he belongs.” In three seasons as the head coach at Wake For- est (2007-10), Gaudio guided the Demon Deacons to a 61-31 overall record and a pair of NCAA Tour- nament appearances. His 2008-09 team opened the season with a program-best 16-0 start as the last unbeaten team in the nation, finished second in the ACC behind 2009 NCAA Champion North Carolina (who Wake Forest beat that season), and rose to the nation’s top-ranked team before finishing 12th in the final Associated Press poll. In 2010, despite losing two players to early entry in the NBA Draft, Wake Forest won 20 games – including all five of its overtime games that season -- and reached the NCAA Tournament. He was twice recognized by a media organization as the ACC Coach of the Year, achieving that honor by Rivals. com in 2008 and CBSSports.com in 2009. In his nine seasons at Wake Forest (2001- 10), including six years as associate head coach and three as its head coach, the Demon Deacons compiled a 187-99 record, participated in six NCAA Tournaments and all 21 Demon Deacon seniors graduated. The only players in nine years who did not graduate were Chris Paul, Jeff Teague, James Johnson and Al-Farouq Aminu, all who were first- round NBA draft selec- tions after their sopho- more seasons. While at Wake Forest, he secured a pair of top 15 recruit- ing classes, including the 2008 class that was rated third in the nation. It was in the first three years at Wake Forest (2001-04) when Gau- dio and Chris Mack were united under the late head coach Skip Prosser. Mack left to be an assistant coach at Xavier. In addition to Wake Forest, Gaudio’s 10 years of Division I head coach- ing experience included four seasons at Army (1993-97) and three years at Loyola (Md.) College (1997-2000). At Army, Gaudio inherited a team that had gone just 4-22 the year before his arrival. In his second year, Gaudio led the Black Knights to a 12-16 record. Gaudio helped the Knights win the only two Patriot League Tournament games in the school’s 17 years of membership in the conference. After his stint at Army, Gaudio was named the head coach at Loyola in 1997 and posted 12 wins in his first year and 13 in his second. The 25 victories in his first two campaigns marked the best start by any Greyhound coach over the previous 26 seasons. Gaudio broke into the college ranks at Xavier, serving as an assistant coach for six years under Pete Gillen (1987-93). In six years, Gaudio helped the Musketeers to a 136-49 record, five 20-win seasons and five NCAA Tournament berths. Xavier won four Midwestern Collegiate Conference regular season crowns, three MCC Tournament titles and made the school’s first trip to the NCAA Sweet 16 in 1990. He later returned to Xavier as an assistant under Skip Prosser in 2000-01 before moving to Wake Forest. Gaudio’s association with Prosser began in 1981 when he served as an assistant coach for four sea- sons at Central Catholic High School in Wheeling (W.Va.) while Prosser was head coach, and the duo led Central Catholic to the 1982 state champion- ship. When Prosser left to become an assistant coach at Xavier in 1985, Gaudio became the head coach at Central Catholic and promptly guided the Maroon Knights to the state championship game in his first season. The following season, Gaudio directed Central Catholic to a 22-4 record and the 1987 state AA championship. A 1981 graduate of Ohio University, Gaudio earned double bachelor’s degrees in accounting and secondary education. He attained a master’s degree in secondary education from Xavier in 1991.
