I made an account to observe the reactions and don't have clearance to read the pastner thread... Anyone else have this problem?

You can read the scout board w/o an account.

Dont laugh at these folks. Karma is a beech.

Some know a great deal about Pastner and hate the deal, some know nothing and fall in line that since it's Memphis he'll bring in hookers and blow and drop their APR (???), others think he's a good coach but Memphis fans are delusional thinking a FF every year is a must.

They'll find out soon enough on all counts.

Poor group. I'm praying our coaching search doesn't end up like there's has.

Josh will have them brainwashed for a couple years with his positive vibes, hospital visits, and a couple high-level commits out of ATL.

I hope they don't have crazy expectations like wanting a team that runs a structured offense.

Makes shots too.

It will be a hoot to tune in next year and watch Josh go up against Williams, Coach K, and Boeheim. Oh, and the revenge match against UVA.

I think the phrase "GT is about to get George Mason'ed" says it all. Paul Hewitt recruited up a storm. Had a fluke run to the NC game. Garnered a ludicrous contract for it. Couldn't coach for crap, particularly on offense, leading ESPN to call his offense "the clogged toilet". No really:

Quote:10:45: You know how some offenses have names, like Four Corners, Motion, Flex and so on? Here are the possible names for the offense G-Tech is running today: "Inertia" … "The Diarrhea Motion" … "One Dribbler, Four Watchers" … "Clogged Toilet" …

10:50: Four minutes of the UNLV-Georgia Tech second half elapse before they remember to switch us back to the game on the UNLV-Georgia Tech channel (they were showing the Memphis game for some reason) … and, of course, they're in commercial. This seems like a good time to mention that I'm paying $69.95 to see every minute of every game of March Madness. "Greg Gumbel just squatted on us like Azamat," House says in the Borat voice.

11:15: Clark Kellogg tells us that G-Tech "has the horses" to catch up to UNLV. "Too bad they don't have the jockey," House says. He's on fire this morning. Maybe the key for House with any running diary is to avoid showering and be as constipated as possible.

11:21: G-Tech threatens to take the lead with 3:32 to play, thanks in no small part to a ghastly 0-for-8 shooting performance from Kevin Kruger (son of Lon). We haven't seen nepotism destroy a college hoops team's NCAA chances like this since the heyday of Saul and Tubby Smith.

11:28: G-Tech runs the "clogged toilet" offense and gets an airball as the shot clock is expiring. Well done. That's followed by a UNLV bucket (they're up by one, two minutes to play) and G-Tech calling a timeout to set up "inertia." And yes, that was G-Tech's last timeout. I think Doc Rivers needs to hire Paul Hewitt as his bench coach for the Celtics. We need him for the last 20 games of our lottery push.

11:33: UNLV scores a go-ahead layup, followed by G-Tech running "clogged toilet" again and getting a rarely seen five-second dribbling violation to give the ball back to UNLV with 54 seconds to play. You couldn't make this stuff up. Hey, can they fire Paul Hewitt before the game ends, or do they have to wait until the final buzzer?

11:41: G-Tech scores to cut it to two, then fouls UNLV's best FT shooter (Umeh, shooting 83 percent). He sinks both. That's followed by a G-Tech airball, another made free throw with 12.2 seconds left (no timeout because G-Tech doesn't have any), another turnover and two more UNLV free throws. Game time. We should see Paul Hewitt's résumé on Monster.com within the next three hours.

George Mason hired Paul Hewitt.... and GT paid for most of his compensation while he was there was he was underwhelming and got fired again. Hey -- at least GT is on the beneficial side of bad coaches with worse contracts this time. Progress?

It's like taking every bit of self-restraint I have to not make an account and argue with the people saying his first 5 years were impressive.

Geez. Just thought about that. Josh is going to get killed in the ACC.

But I got 99 problems...
