Why in the world would Tech hire Pastner? Tech basketball has been such a disappointment the last several years.

RE: Are Memphis fans about to celebrate?
I just wonder what they saw in the Memphis situation that made them think they wanted some of that? I mean, they could probably straight up call some better candidates, just say ACC, and get some folks running to get some cracks at the likes of UNC, Duke, and Louisville.
It could lead to a good change of pace for both programs, but, on GT's end, it doesn't make sense to me at all.

so far GTech has been turned down by Jeff Capel, Bryce Drew, and Butler coach Chris Holtmann....Pastner isn't choice #1
Pastner wasn't choice #1 at Memphis.

Georgia Tech is trying to set a record for number of head basketball coaches on the payroll at one time.

How much Ray Watts or Alabama sucks?
We're supposed to talk about what JSU message boards say about our coaching hires.

Rethinking this, as hiring Jason Terry wouldn't fit the :
Blatant cheater has to vacate the Final 4 appearance
followed by
Good Guy but loses in 1st round ,
Pattern they seem to have at UM .

Friends of Josh. No way
Memphis is probably going to get turned down a lot before they settle. Pastner left absolutely nothing and Memphis is no longer destination job. It is a stepping stone too. A coach coming in has an empty bench. They have five scholarships available and probably another one with Pastner gone.
Pastner was way down on the list and had his bags packed to go with Cal before they settled for him.
My guess will be Penny Hardaway, which will be a fun crash to watch.
such a
my guess, we'll go after Gregg Marshall and Archie Miller...and they'll say no...
then we'll go after Will Wade (Nashville native, former UTC coach) and Steve Forbes (asst for Bruce Pearl and Gregg Marshall, ETSU head coach) and get our guy.
just an early guess...

Or how the team can improve in the rebounding category. We won a lot of games but lost the battle of the offensive rebounds, 390-366.
