Print2. Steve Kragthorpe
Rap Sheet:
--First current or former member of the U of L athletic family to participate in the tournament.
--"Led" Louisville to a 4-8 season.
--Missed the postseason for the third straight year.
--Constantly looked and sounded confused while his team constantly looked and sounded both confused and apathetic.
--Spoke in hollow and infuriating cliches.
--Called being fired from Louisville "a great blessing" during an interview for a story about his faith.
--Taped the most anger-inducing Kroger commercial of all-time.
7. Mike Kitts
--Sucked every bit as much as usual during the 2009-2010 college basketball season.
--Sucked even more than usual during Louisville's Jan. 30 loss to West Virginia when he missed a late call because he was ducking out of the way of the ball and then improperly consulted video replay to make the call, costing the Cards a shot at a huge victory.
--Two other highly questionable calls (ball out off Mazzulla's head, no foul called on Delk's three) inexplicably went against U of L in the game where Kitts was serving as lead official.
--Was banned from the Big East Tournament because of above transgressions.

“consistently looked like a homeless person” for krag’s rap sheet
While I'd like to take a dump in both of their pools...
…had to go with the Program Destroyer.
Kitts.
The previous two seasons of Kragthorpe softened the blow for the suckage that was this past football season. Kitts, while only sucking for about 5 minutes, did way more damage to this past UofL basketball season that the lost to St. Johns. We kind of expected to suck with Kragthorpe. How often did this past season’s basketball team raise our hope, only to let us down? And then to have a chance at euphoria only to have stolen away from us by 5 minutes of incompetent officiating? I still think the ball off Mazzulla’s head was the bigger screw up of that game though.
Cal?

How does Steve not win?
Granted he was a lame duck for the second half of the season, but still he was infuriating for a long period of time.
Needs to be added as a positive: “Ushered in the Strongest Era in Louisville Football.”

you don't need to be a nostradumbass
to see this coming down to calapari and kragthorpe. The only thing they share in common is the ability to underachieve.
let's just close up shop and give stevey the Pure Crap Trophy now
the man’s gonna breeze through this tournament
Kitts
He cost us a seed or two with those calls.
Who is this Kragthorpe you’re blogging about? I don’t remember anything about UL football between the Orange Bowl and Charlie Strong’s hiring.

As much as I wish Kragthorpe
would have been knocked off by pitino’s mafia quit a year ago and saved us some money. HCCS has almost erased the memories of Krapthorpe (or I’ve just selectively chosen to forget).
But Kitts costing us games hurt more; especially with a team whose play was completely dependent on their psyche. If we win all three, or even two of those three, I think last year’s bball team looks completely different.
Krag
Granted it was an unforgiveable, inexcusable act of incompetence and idiocy, Kitts only cost us one high profile game.
Krag set our program back a decade in one year, then cost us two extra seasons to boot. Like a panic at the disco bonus or something.

Its the Academy Awards thingy
What do they call it? The career achievement award? Gotta be the SK.
OMG it isn't even close
Epic Fail vs. Mr. Flinch
Your a mean one, Mr. Flinch,
Your head is full of Snot,
Your a loser and a bailer,
But not as bad a failure
Mr. Flinch….
Epic Fail has you beaten by a …Bible and a Better After Today!
I wanted to puke when I saw this
I have been a reader for a while on here. This site does a great job with the Cardinal info. I had to post when I read this topic. Couldn’t take it anymore.
When I saw the Krag face, then the memories of him just make me sick. To me this is the lowest point in U of L history. He just plained sucked both as a coach and a person. The pain, the pain…..why…still think it was a UK conspiracy (good job).
We have a good counselor at the wheel now. Charlie Strong….doing it the right way (LOL ).
this is no contest.
in my opinion only, kitts shouldn’t even be on this list. it was already going south by the time he screwed up. both calls didn’t help anything but to paraphrase coach schnelly, we always had the option of stopping them on defense. if things were going well in that game, i could see crucifying the refs, but we were making things bad all on our own.
why hwsnbn is the 2 seed is the bigger outrage and injustice unless its someone really really horrible.
I"m thinking 1 is also going to be HWSNBN and 8 is going to be Gerry McNamara just because.
They gone have to stop sleeping on me one day.. I gotta be one of the best
