Statement--"Investments and changes" so we can "compete at the HIGHEST Level"
What exactly does this mean to you guys? Haven't they backed themselves into a corner using those words?? Because everybody knows what "competing at the highest level" means. What if next season Josh doesn't have his team "competing at the highest level"?? What then? Is he fired then?? And the "investments", to me this should mean this----hey Brad Martin and Bill Laurie, you got your way, Josh will be back for year 8, now you two guys get that basketball practice facility built quickly. What say you guys?

Screams 01-rivals to me.
The administration felt like most of us and a couple of guys that write the check said go Blank yourselves.
Rudd puts out a statement to end the speculation thus mopping up the Atlantic ocean with a paper towel.
It's a political statement with zero tangible meaning.

It means no more commercial flights for the team to / from games. It means hopefully getting back to the status quo of the Cal era where the program is attractive to the better players. It means bringing in some quality coaches to help Opie Pastner run a high level program. Pastner will be the head coach, but he is not going to be "running" the program.

Good responses and I understand where you guys are coming from. But can't their words be used against them, when he doesn't compete on the highest level?? When Josh is t successful on the highest level isn't now finally time for him to be let go?

Agree. Didn't it say something like an experienced assistant possibly with head coaching experience. Sounds like an x/o guy will be running things. I'm surprised Pastner wasn't smart enough to have done this four years ago. Ego is a two edged sword.

I hope you are correct.

Agreed x2 - an experienced assistant with the title of associate head coach would suffice for me

It seems that the guy from Canada isn't very popular here.

He's kinda like Pastner. The only "friends" he has are the ones that count. I'll let you figure out the rest

They need to play to Josh's ego... release a statement like:

"We believe it is evident at this point to other programs that Josh Pastner isn't a very good coach. Knowing this, we believe that we will be stuck with him as he rides out the rest of his contract... as no team would want such a poor coach heading up their program. To prevent his poor coaching skills from irreversibly damaging out program, we have hired a senior executive coach to which the head coach will be reporting."

It means nothing, it is just a CYA cliche. That is it. If they meant that there would have been a presser announcing him being let got instead of a statement of support...
