“Winning is hard.”

It’s hard to win when you go up against the greatest coach every game.

Thats been a given for about 7 years…

Sorry

He single handedly ruined Memphis basketball and he's a weirdo.

So many of the female fans used to just get moist around him, lol Must have been those dance moves.

He's made 10's of millions of dollars being a slightly above average bb coach - amazing.

I wish Josh all the best. He was ill-equipped for a head coaching position when we hired him and he didn't have the foresight to surround himself with an experienced assistant coach or two he could learn from. Not to mention, he has a bit of a stubborn streak. Hopefully, he can get a lead assistant spot somewhere and begin to learn again.

Maybe Pastner and Ewing can co-host a radio show together.

They can call it Fired Brothers.

Prolly to UK, he can become a recruiting dynamo again

Exactly what qualifies him to be the lead assistant? He went from video coordinator to Head Coach and skipped a bunch of steps....

You nailed it the first time..the dude is weird. Now weird is ok for some positions but when you gotta connect with a lot of folks, including 'PLAYERS'...you can't be a font of weirdness spewing words they've never heard.

I was ok with the guy as our coach, but only from afar apparently. The first time I saw him in person was at the Las Vegas BB tournament...He was seated at a table 6 feet in front of me.

But instead of moving down to introduce myself, I hurried up further in the stands. He was acctually repellent---big dumb smile --he seemed like he was living in a denial dreamworld. I didn't wanna tune into that world even for a moment. lol

Who???

Just goes to show what a great job Memphis is…

Im sure he will land on his feet.

No issues with Josh he never stopped trying unlike Tubby

Snippet from Pastner's introduction as GT's coach.

Georgetown
or
Ole Miss
or
Cal Berkeley

did I miss anyone

He says all the right things that stuff he has memorized...but when he wings it....lol....

I remember when he first got to GT, he insulted Golf...'none of my assistants can be golfers'

the media ran with it. Oddly enough that's what Tubby liked most. Maybe Bowen should've listened.
