Let's give CJP his 'propers'. A 5th place ACC finish in 2020 and a 4th place ACC finish along with a ACC Tournament CHAMPIONSHIP in 2021 say to me that he's a darn good coach. I am sure glad for us that he's not the coach at Arizona this morning. Thanks for doing a great job, Josh Pastner!",,,He might not be the greatest coach but...

IMHO, he relates to his team very well and they play hard for him. Recruiting has improved. CJP is fairly young with time to learn additional skills.Let's give CJP his 'propers'.

Yeah, it didn't mean to sound harsh or against Pastner. I just recognize that he isn't a Hall of Fame coach, and that's ok. He had a great year, and I am ready to give him credit for that. The point of my post was how thankful I am that he didn't move on, not because he is irreplaceable, but because the timing would have been quite unfortunate for the program. I am thankful that he is still our coach and can't wait to see next year's team. The potential is there to repeat the success of this year.Let's give CJP his 'propers'.

Speaking of fairly young, we have the youngest coach in the conference. I think it is possible Pastner took a little time to learn and develop as a head coach and we have started seeing the benefit of that. His only real weakness at this point has been high school recruiting until this last class. Hopefully he can keep putting together top 25 classes.IMHO, he relates to his team very well and they play hard for him. Recruiting has improved.

He's not a Hall of Fame coach yet, that is true but a 30 year career at Georgia Tech with multiple national championships should do the trick I'd think.Yeah, it didn't mean to sound harsh or against Pastner.

Hell, let’s win a few!He's not a Hall of Fame coach yet, that is true but a 30 year career at Georgia Tech with multiple national championships should do the trick I'd think.
Unironically though, I do see Josh as the next breed of K/Roy/Leonard Hamilton/Boeheim in the ACC. There hasn't been a time since 2016 that he hasn't struck me as genuinely humble. You can hear it in his voice during GT:60 shows w/ Demetra that he sees coaching in the ACC as the pinnacle of his career. I feel like he feels like he's made it here at Georgia Tech. And on the flip side, I haven't seen any signs that Stansbury doesn't want him to stick around. You can tell his teams love him by how hard each one of them has played defense over the past half-decade. It's almost as good a feeling as winning to know that your team cares.
Tl;dr: Alcohol fueled post that Pastner will win a national title in his 30 year career at Georgia Tech.
You lost me with K and Boeheim being mixed with "humble."He's not a Hall of Fame coach yet, that is true but a 30 year career at Georgia Tech with multiple national championships should do the trick I'd think.

How much of the credit should go to his assistants, and not the head coach? I believe this became apparent with Hewitt after his national championship run, when the Clogged Toilet Offense (CTO) and Couldn't Inbound the Ball OOB play became famous (or infamous, I should say).You lost me with K and Boeheim being mixed with "humble."
Pastner has really grown on the job at GT. If you watched tape of his Memphis and GT teams side by side you'd swear that had to be a different head coach.
Even if it's due to the assistants, I have more faith that Pastner will make good replacement hires when the time comes. I think Hewitt saw himself as a mentor and hired a lot of less experienced coaches after the FF runHow much of the credit should go to his assistants, and not the head coach?

My take on CPH is that the FF made him felt as he had arrived so he let his foot off the gas and dabbled in his favorite past times such as mentoring. The contract made it such that he really didn't have to work anymore. Seen this is the private sector when guys felt like that hade it made.Even if it's due to the assistants, I have more faith that Pastner will make good replacement hires when the time comes.

That's the trick to a happy work life isn't it? Finding something you are passionate about vs doing something for financial security. It's pretty apparent that if you do the first one, the latter will follow.My take on CPH is that the FF made him felt as he had arrived so he let his foot off the gas and dabbled in his favorite past times such as mentoring.

That is what is so astonishing about guys like Coach K, Bellichik and Saban. They still coach as if they are young and have something to prove. Obviously a rare trait in any profession.
