IM about done!
- Thread starter Rebel_Luv
- Start date
This is only marginally better than hiring Hartman. Time to drop the basketball program so none of us have to suffer any longer.
I'm willing to give it a chance but man a lot harder to be excited about this than Hodgson, Olen, Bucky, etc etc etc
Lol came here just to see the meltdown
Should of just kept Kruger for 1 more season if this was going to be the hire
No I think I would do bad things if I had to watch another season of Kruger Ball in the Mack, I can be delusional about this next semester at least lol
Those two African American gentlemen always trying to sell tickets outside of the games must be in shambles now...
Actually, Paster is the 2nd fastest coach to 100 wins in Memphis history and they have had some good coaches in Calipari Dana Kirk ect.
When someone the other day said we wouldn't be happy with any hire...
I think we can agree this is not that case... we can all agree this was a knee-jerk hire

Worst case scenario is he does exactly what he did at Georgia Tech... Best case somewhere between that and Memphis.
Actually okay with the hire though.

Pastner is an outstanding recruiter. Not a great coach by any stretch of the imagination, but he had his limitations at Tech with their annoying admission standards. He has an eye for talent; Chase Budinger, Joe Jackson, Dedric Lawson, Nic Wise, Josh Okogie, Jose Alvarado, Mike Devoe, and Miles Kelly. He should succeed at UNLV.
So reaching 20 wins 1 time... glad we lit 2.35 million on fire for that
Nah, there's worse...
Should've poured everything we had into football until we got a good conference deal that would let us actually offer something for a decent coach. I don't see us doing any better next year than we would have under CKK. Probably worse even with a weaker conference.
The worry is at Memphis he dropped off after starting well with Cal’s left overs. Georgia Tech is a tough job and he put together their best two years in the last 20 since Hewitt had a good NCAA run in the early 2000’s even then he Hewitt never finished higher in the ACC than Pastner’s solo fourth in arguably a larger ACC. You have to go back to Cremins in the 90’s to top that finish.
I am not excited by this hire but I don’t think he underachieved at GT. Memphis after Cal recruits were gone (which was quickly) he started to tread water.
Yet another coach known as a recruiter without much of a system... sigh.
But this is still an upgrade. I would rather had Olen or the UAB guy, was that enamored with Bucky Ball.
This feels kinda like Pitino Jr. Which turned out decent for the Lobos.

Good comparison and I had similar thoughts. Georgia Tech is the Minnesota or Northwestern of the ACC. Tough job in a Brutal conference.

Nah he did not have a HALL OF FAME HC for a dad showing him the ropes. BIG difference.
We have to remember our conference will be shit without the traitors. Perhaps he'll do better in Sunbelt West.
I am in on Pastner..
G-Tech is a shit job & they have only been to the NCAA tournament twice since 2007(& Pastner got them once)
Damon Stoudamire is struggling there.. G-Tech really does suck.. so I won’t hold that against Josh..
& Memphis? Penny has been there what 7 years now & they finally won their conference & regular season, so it’s not like Penny is setting the world on fire there..
Josh is still young(just turned 47) & he knows what it takes to win.. more so than KK, Menzies, etc..
I think we will see success with Josh..

This isn't about Pastner. Could bring in some great talent and that alone could push us to a MWC title in 3 or 4 years...
This is more about the failure of the search, the bad PR our athletics department has been getting for 2 weeks, the mismanagement of money, the NIL fund getting publicly torched by a coach that we all but had announced, and then having to turn to a guy who hasn't coached in a few years or during the NIL era...
