nope. If so, you wouldn't have answered she was turning clockwise.

So what does it mean when someone says it's clockwise, you look at it and think, "yup, clockwise" and then someone says it could be counter-clockwise and you look again and realize, "yeah I can see that."

oops...The little ballerina ***** is tricksy...she turns one way for a few seconds gets bored and turns the other.
That means my two hemispheres cancel each other out.

The one I don't get is the elephant. Does it start in the air and fall on the trampoline? Or does it start on the trampoline?

Took a day off I see. Tough game wasn't it?

Same thing that happens to every thread on this site. What? You didn't expect an intelligent and/or civil conversation did you? This board is for trolling and entertainment, nothing more.

If it's honest and intelligent conversation that you want there's a new place for that

Another garbage thread.
I wish all of you ladies would go back to the tea room.

I just see it as a bigger picture. Doesn't matter what players are out there, it's the system and philosophy that's flawed with Pastner. It's just bad. Talent hides it or masks it to some degree but the degree of success will always be mediocre with it and mediocre is failure.

We need a fresh start here with a different coach. The buyout won't be an issue since the guys paying it approved the contract.

probably not much seeing that we have a Football AD thats not gonna spend alot of money on a capable BB coaches buyout

For the record. I'm the leader of ME. She's turning clockwise by the way.

I'm both.

If you can do that, you are bicameral. This means you have the ability to understand both intellectual and creative postulates. Individuals who can do this generally have I.Q.'s between 125 and 140.

Pastner has always had that or a great recruiting class in his back pocket. The incoming class isn't tied to Josh so that won't be the case this year. If he misses the tourney in March, that means we dropped a lot of games to some really mediocre teams...an ugly season will turn up the heat. If we finish better than what how we started, that might buy him 1 more year.

Depends how ugly it gets...

I don't know. A 20 win/NIT type season is probably enough to limp along into next season. I think less than 20 wins is where things start to get dicey.

Wishful thinking.

15-16 is where it gets dicey. Even then I think he gets one year with the Lawsons to prove this was a blip and not a trend. But with that huge contract he has? Maybe even 2 years of poor showing would be required before any sort of buyout.

20 win NIT season would be meeting expectations for this inexperienced squad in what was always understood (by most) to be an inevitable rebuilding year.

No it would not be meeting expectations to make the NIT. Rebuilding year or not.

We have been to 27 ncaa tourneys with 6 vacated and 17 NIT's and have a .632 win % in the history of the program.

Are you sure? I thought we won the National Championship every season...

Some of you think we do

It amazes me how some fans on here are just so content with having a mediocre basketball program.

To the OP's question rather than what some responders posed, the "minimum to save his job" is just playing above .500. Wouldn't suit me or many who have commented here but I don't think the decision-makers will act on one down year & (before you say it, given the contract extension they don't think previous campaigns have been down years. An exception would be JP doing something unethical or against NCAA rules where a firing might be had on such grounds (where contract would be voided without payment) OR, a team record substantially below .500. You have to remember that our admin. gave Porter another year after only 1 win & the team acting like they had no coaching at all, with relatively poor recruiting to boot. I understand our BB tradition is at a much higher level but I'm not sure either our university president or AD understand that tradition. Our admin won't give JP the axe this year unless the bottom falls out, meaning below .500 - and maybe not even then given the Lawsons coming next year.

memphis' ONLY traditional is memphis tigers basketball

Doesn't matter what the "fans" or this board thinks, at least over the next year or two. If fans buy tickets, JP will keep his job with a mediocre year every now & then - and that's mediocre as the admin & those that pay the bills perceive it, not us.

the way you spin it Josh is the best coach in the NCAA

He's trying to figure out how we made the tournament 83 times in the last 5 years.
