Bowen announced that Norvell's entired salary covered by private funding. Which is great. But again makes one wonder if there is big money out there to buy out Pastner's contract.

Bill Laurie was at game tonight. Hopefully he will see what needs to be done and make it happen.

Buyout- $$ from lost ticket sales= what Pastner gets on his way out the door.

This may make up for some of the $$$ lost this year from ticket non renewals.

He is the coach; he should be putting a product on the court that people want to see....and will pay to see.
Feel bad for the kids.

"Feel bad for the kids."
Yes, me too. Generally when a kid signs with a team that's got elite talent they enjoy elite results.

The Memphis team I've watched this year and the past 4 years has not had 'elite' talent.

It was the same last year, just not quite as bad. Seeing Austin asking for fans to come out was sad. Seeing the abysmal crowds in the Forum this year is embarrassing. Reading posts on here blaming fans for the situation all the while telling them to shut up about changing it probably beats all that in the smh area.

Life is so much easier if you are just willing to admit when you're wrong. I'll admit it. I thought they should've given Josh a good extension three years ago. It was naive, wishful thinking that ignored some major red flags, and it's time to correct it. OK boosters, your turn.

THANK YOU!! See people, it's not that hard. Just come to terms with it so we can all start singing from the same hymnal and maybe get some traction. He's gotta go- the sooner the better.

Maybe "elite" is a stretch. Hs all Americans, and better talent than just about anybody we play. That was my point. The kids deserve/expect better results.

there is so much talent in the memphis area in the next few years

you could hire a high school coach and have the same or better results

That awesome OM squad down almost 30 right now to UK ...
