Who?
Pastner is doing just fine at Memphis. He is still a young head coach. He is a disciple of Lute Olson, formerly coach at Arizona, and runs Arizona's old 1-4 stack offense.
He's learning on the job as we speak, and he is still putting things together. This season he showed signs of becoming more aggressive, as before he was seen by the media and fans as being 'too-nice'.
Most of us Memphis fans are realistic that the job he has done has been nothing short of incredible.
When Calipari left, he tried his damnedest to burn our program to the ground.
Anyone believing that he went to Kentucky because it was his 'dream job' is a candidate to buy the West Memphis, Arkansas Bridge. He did it to stay ahead of the NCAA.
Cal took almost our entire recruiting class that season with him to Kentucky. Even tried to take a snow-cone machine that had been doated to the program by a booster for the basketball camps.
Josh has been able to recruit at a high level, despite not having the recruiting services of World Wide Wes, Calipari's talent scout.
What we do realize is that no despite the success he has had, Pastner will have to show some improvement.
Now its not just about winning the conference, conference tourney, and making it to the NCAA's anymore.
Now he has to beat a team ranked in the top 25, and he has to win a NCAA tournament game.
