The first major offseason shakeup for the Louisville men’s basketball program is here.
Card Chronicle can confirm multiple reports that Cardinal assistant coach Thomas Carr is leaving to take a similar position at Indiana. The Field of 68’s Jeff Goodman was the first to report the news.

Carr has spent the last four seasons as an assistant under Pat Kelsey, the last two at Louisville. He spent the two preceding seasons on Kelsey’s staff at Charleston.
In January, Carr was named to Silver Waves Media 2026 100 Most Impactful High Major Assistants List for his work at U of L.
“Thomas Carr truly embodies all of the essential talents to be a highly effective assistant coach in this new era of college basketball,” Kelsey said in a statement when Carr’s hiring was first announced in April of 2024. “His recruiting network is vast — as he is wired like few I’ve been around at the grassroots, high school and junior college levels. His ability to connect and build trust with players is elite.”
I’ll always respect Carr for leaning into the fan base’s witchcraft efforts back in January. Best of luck to him moving forward.
An offseason of change is upon us.
