[QUOTE="freedomactradio, post: 435070, member: 2827"] Pastner's wife was a 5-star recruit, but I heard that it was Calipari who recruited her. He really sold her on the benefits of the Pastner experience. She was in love before the two even met. The first time I saw Coach Pastner do an interview, I thought he came off a little odd too. He seemed somewhat socially unaware to me, but I have no idea what he's like one of one when the cameras aren't pointed at him. The little red dot of a video camera can have a powerful effect on people when it turns on. I've seen some of the most engaging people off camera instantly transform into awkward messes as soon as the camera starts rolling. So who knows? I'm giving him the benefit of doubt for now. I will say this. I think the Josh Pastner call in show is hilarious because he has a tendency to go on these tangential rants that have nothing to do with whatever question was just asked. It's always funny to me to listen to his co-host try to follow just exactly what Pastner is saying. One time last season for example, someone called or tweeted a question about whether or not the team would be using the full court press more in upcoming games. I think that was the subject of the question. Pastner started kind of talking about that, but quickly veered off into a 10 + minute rant about how great Moses Wright's legs are and how he needs to squat down and play low with those great powerful legs. And when I say 10 minutes, I'm not exaggerating. I was driving to Chick-Fl-A while listening. Moses Wright's great legs (Coach's words, not mine) were the only thing he talked about during the time it took me to get there. I parked, went inside, waited in line, ordered, waited for my food, and then went back out to my car. To my surprise, when I turned the radio back on, Pastner was STILL talking about how great Moses Wright's are. I have noticed that he seems to use a lot of misdirection when responding to questions about future game strategies and updates on players, which I don't mind at all.
