2016 Coaching Changes Thread

Josh Pastner (Memphis) to GT according to ESPN.

Tech fans are calling him Paul Hewitt 2.0. They hate the hire. Memphis fans love it.

Quote: "He is Hewitt 2.0, with an anger problem with his players instead of the fans and media. If he can fix that, he may be great. Oh, that and a couple of assistants who can actually coach basketball."

And... GT overpays again. That place is quickly becoming a basketball graveyard full of the ghosts of bad decisions. Can't see how Pastner will be an upgrade from Gregory.

It takes a special kind of boneheaded operation to be paying 3 coaches at the same time ... 2 of whom no longer work there.

Ridiculous.

Not if Boston College has anything to say about it

Apparently Memphis paid $1.2M to subsidize Pastner's Georgia Tech salary. Never heard of that before.

Probably cheaper than what they otherwise owed him?
