He’s ruining Tech. I don’t believe the sexual allegations are true. But I do believe the other things. It sounds every bit like the disfunction that existed here while he was coach. He had great timing coming in as our head coach feeding off of Cals success and his hard work ethic as a recruiter. Things quickly unraveled however, and what is happening at Georgia Tech just furthers those beliefs.

Dude went from making like 200k to having close to 15Million in the bank in 10 years.

He did well for himself...Although he is still not a good bball coach.

Agree. He did well for himself. I think he tried his best when here - he is just not a good game coach or developer of players. The thing I do resent is that he totally wasted our brand name that Calipari had expended so much effort to carefully build. Had we had an AD willing to put forth some effort to get a good proven coach after Calipari, we wouldn’t be in the shape we’re currently in.

I agree we were in a situation to try to maintain the momentum but I don't blame Josh for taking the job...You don't know your limits until you hit them.

I don't believe these accusations for a second.

How about that he has nothing to hide? Wouldn’t that be an obvious reason?
I already told you guys why they made up the sexual assault allegations. She was cut off financially by her family and it pissed Bell off. They needed money and boom extortion scheme.

There are pictures of GT players at the dudes house in Arizona...

You cant tell me Josh didn't know they were there.

The sexual assault claims are total BS.

Look at this picture of Jennifer Pendley in the article:

She's hideous! Pastner has higher standards than that.

GT will learn or has already learned & is playing it out.

Are they on the cusp, too?

Damn, I have a ball Pastner signed for me that says the same thing. Now I feel like I have been cheated.

I had to laugh at that one...I remember every opposing coach was his "Dear, Dear Friend"

they were instructed not to tell their coach.
Josh puts himself in positions to be the last to know anything.
Didn't know Austin wanted to transfer out etc etc

My thoughts exactly

It's sad really. I never thought Josh would have this issue.
He was just goofy.

So?
Filing the lawsuit against these absolute losers, criminals actually, only pushed them to escalate things against Josh and make up even more bs. It was a really bad decision on Josh's part. Should have just let it go. Nobody was buying the garbage Bell was putting out.

i have no doubt he's guilty, weirdos do weirdo things

I don’t think you guys realize what those kinda accusations can do to someone’s life. If I was 100% innocent I’d file charges as well. I actually find it hard to believe that if someone accused you of those things and there were articles in national publications about it, that’s youd sit on your hands and do nothing about it.

Foolish. Whoever told him to file the lawsuit knew what they were talking about. A high-profile employee needs to fight back against that type of complaint. Letting it go leaves doubt in some people's minds.

Agreed 100%. But there's the difference between people on message boards and people in real life, highly public situations.

There was certainly way more to lose by filing a lawsuit against Bell than there was to gain. However, given Pastner's narcissistic tendencies to not listen to the advice of others, it wouldn't surprise me at all if he thought suing Bell would "nip it in the bud" and others actually advised him against it.

No it doesn't. Not at all. It depends on the source and Bell has/had no credibility whatsoever. He's a guy with serious personal issues that Josh clearly helped at some point. When the guy wanted more and more, pastner distanced himself from the guy. He didn't like it and resorted to extortion. Filing suit against Bell ignited a crazy person to piggyback on the "me too" stuff to further his utter BS campaign.
Not a good move.

I would've advised it. I'm sure Georgia Tech had a say, as well.
