I sometimes feel like I've responded to this point too many times, and should just shrug and let it go. Instead, I'm going to quote a post I made on another board a month ago: I totally agree that Gregory's culture and emphasis on academics were a positive. I will gently push back on the...

Also, love this picture from after the Notre Dame game. Got some hops...

I think it was on his last radio show that Pastner talked about playing against an unnamed team with a hard cutting offense a couple of years ago, and being so impressed he studied it and decided he wanted to run it. It kind of sounded like he couldn't figure out how to change at Memphis, but...

Of course you hear it re-stated because Pastner brings it up every time he talks to the media. He was very upfront early in the year saying that he told the team that they were going to under-promise and over-deliver. Ken at the AJC did an interview with Bobinski recently, where Bobinski flat...

A quote from Lammers about Coach Reveno and that fadeaway shot, from an AJC article in January: “I’m not going to say he’s a big fan of it, but it’s like, he sees it goes in a fair amount of times, so then he’s like, Well, I guess you’re going to shoot it, so we might as well work with it.”

I suspect that it's really hard to maintain a 3.0 after your 1st or 2nd year at Tech, particularly playing basketball which spans both semesters. There is an ACC Academic Honor Roll which requires maintaining a 3.0 for the full year. Heyward made it in 2012-2013, but not after that. MGH made...

I'm not sure he ever hired a football head coach before or while he was at Tech. Although proof will require time, by all reports he scored a real coup by landing Brohm at Purdue.

Just out of curiosity, disillusioned, or delusional?

It does feel like he's missing those more lately, though I have no data to back that up.

I had good luck getting extras through Stubhub earlier this season. Much as I'd like to tell you to buy directly from RamblinWreck.com so the revenue goes to Tech, they don't have a deal for Pitt tickets currently so in general you'll pay much more for equivalent tickets right now. With...

From his bio on ramblinwreck.com, "(pronounced oh-KO-gee with a hard G)". http://www.ramblinwreck.com/sports/m-baskbl/mtt/josh_okogie_1017245.html

I have been curious, since CJP has mentioned that he had good defenses at Memphis, so here are the KenPom adjusted defense rankings for GT for the last 10 years, and for Memphis for Pastner's tenure. As of this moment, GT ranks 14th this year. .

FWIW, KenPom currently has Clemson at 31, Wake at 35, and GT at 71. So they clearly performed above his model's expectations in general.

I wold say the Ohio coach was also prophetic, except he insisted he had a good team. That is also an interesting thread to re-read. https://gtswarm.com/threads/ohio.10826/

He's been doing it all year, or at least I noticed it pretty early. There's a stack of the cards on the end of the scorer's table next to Julian Swartz.

As a random note, last year Heyward played a total of 22 minutes across 8 games. Last night he played 22 minutes in a win against the #6 team in the country. He's played a total of 334 minutes across 20 games.

UNC gets that GT taste out of their mouth vs. NC State, 107-56.
