Even the Zags bench had to get up for that one.

That was a very good team with a lot of talent, should have made some big time noise in the NCAA's, it's a shame they had to play for a clown that was calling the shots and ru(I)nning the show. Really sad to what this program has become. Thanks Josh!!

There was some solid DI talent on those NCAA teams - talent that with a real coach and the right system probably would've meant better regular season records, better seeding, deeper runs.

Joe, Crawford, Dixon, Geron, Adonis, Bartons, Pellom, Tarik, DJ, Nichols as a freshman, etc.

'They' let him do it...We let him do it...But, in truth, I'm thinking 'we' had little choice. Even the attendance is making little difference.

I see what you're saying. I feel the reason he's being retained is something other than the fact that he's doing a good job. I also feel there's other factors involved for reasons why he's being kept. I wanted Pastner gone 2 years ago, but I've also convinced myself to just let things play out. I know for a fact the administration is not trying to kill the program, anyone who thinks that is just plain ignorant to what's going on. Like I said, things just need to work out down the road. We'll find out soon enough.

He is owed an even larger apology by JP. Joe should have been given the reigns like Napier @ UCONN. He was asked sacrifice his game for the vision of a talentless coach. He bled Tiger blue coming in & deserved so much better.

I feel worse for him than any kid that has every worn a Tiger uniform.

I agree. I think I probably didn't understand it at the time and was hard on him.

I see what he was going through though so I owe him a BIG apology.

Having to deal with this dude molding and helping my career.

Also i'm sorry Nick King, Sorry Austin Nichols and really sorry to Adonis Thomas...totally ruined his chances at the NBA. Made a bad decision. Josh should be apologizing to Adonis! Probably cost him millions.

That play in HS was a dunk he had on Tarik.
