RE: Bowen's got a pair
(01-03-2013 08:14 PM)Garstiger Wrote: I don't give two shats about playing Tennessee in anything to be honest. However, if Bowen wanting to play them and Pastner not wanting to play them hastens the day of Pastner's departure from Memphis, then I say, well done Mr. Bowen. Since Pastner's first season, I knew he would never be able to keep the basketball program at a high level. For those too blind to see it, we are teetering on irrelevance more each year he is here. As I stated after he lost to Rice or SMU in his first season, "Please wake us when the Pastner experiment is over." He's just not the right type of coach for the players that come to Memphis to play basketball. He's much better suited for a job at a Big 10, ACC, or Pac 10 school.
Another phenomenally ignorant post. We got shot down by perennial loser Leonard Hamilton and about to be sanctioned Tim Floyd. We should be thanking God that Pastner rescued the program. If Pastner doesn't fall into RC's lap, we would be DePaul by now. Pastner has done the part of the job that is the most difficult...he got elite level players to come here. Next year we are stacked.
Whether we win or not Pastner has ensured that we will remain an elite program. If Pastner can win a couple of NCAA tournament games in the next 15 months he will get to finish the job himself. If not, someone else will.
Again, your post couldn't be more ignorant if you tried. Pastner SAVED the program. Nobody else wanted the job; it would have been driven into the ground.

Future scheduling of the basketball team is a fundamental, important part of the highest profile & most successful athletic program in his department.
Bowen has a boss too - and the University President should be sitting down with him immediately to see why there is a disconnect that has spilled into the public domain. This isn't the first time but surely should be the last.
When RC was AD, people defending him always contended that the #1 job of an AD was glad-handing boosters for fundraising purposes. Not sure this guy fits that mold, but maybe that was just their way of giving cover for RC's obvious limitations. Now, we seem to expect a lot more.
And I do appreciate the sentiment in your last paragraph, but have you forgotten who you're talking about? You know, the one on the right?
Judging from the way she handled the last problem with an AD, I'd give about the same odds to an SEC invitation as I would to her stepping in to resolve this or any other athletic department brewhaha.
I've always had a different opinion about the job of the AD - and been pretty public about it too. It involves much more than fund raising although that's an important part.
As for the University President, Bowen is her direct report and this problem should have been addressed when the UMiss flap surfaced. That the same exact problem crops up again is.... "disappointing".

RE: Bowen's got a pair
Story getting national attention now, apparently. Safe to say Bowen screwed up here.
@ESPNAndyKatz: Interesting talk tonight with Memphis coach Josh Pastner and AD Tom Bowen. More in the 3-point shot Friday a.m.

I didn't say it did. Maybe your crabby ass should go to sleep before you put more words in someone's mouth?

Of course you didn't.
I don't have crabs BTW, much less on my buttocks. Please refrain from personal attacks if you can't handle the discussion like a mature adult.
Oh wait, this is MT.org. I forgot. Proceed.

So because I said the story is getting national attention and then expressed that I thought it was safe to say Bowen screwed up, that means I'm saying Andy Katz tweeted that Bowen screwed up? Flawless logic. Keep up the good work.

I never accused you of making sense.
Hell, I'm trying to figure out how his tweet makes it safe to say that Bowen screwed up. You posted it, not me.
Look, if I'm standing next to you and state that something smells like crap, and then hand you a bar of soap; did I explicitly say you smell like sh.t? No. But you'd know what I meant anyway wouldn't you?
