Louisville women's basketball head coach Jeff Walz met with the media ahead of the 2026-27 season for the first time Monday, June 15, at the Planet Fitness Kueber Center.
Walz made changes to his staff following the Cardinals' Sweet 16 run, which ended in a loss to Michigan. He added some new faces from different backgrounds and experiences, and he talked after practice about what each one brings to Louisville.
Mike Bradbury joined the staff after spending the past 10 years as the head coach of New Mexico, where he went 202-112. He was named the Mountain West Coach of the Year for the 2023-24 season. Prior to leading the Lobos, Bradbury spent time as a head coach at Morehead State and Wright State.
He brings experience to the staff and is someone with whom Walz is extremely familiar.
"Mike and I have been friends for 30-plus years," Walz said. "He's had tremendous success as a head coach at every stop he's had."
