[QUOTE="swampsting, post: 937332, member: 1062"] Given how down the conference is this year - it may get five teams out of 15 into the tournament - that's kind of a low bar. The question should be, why weren't we playing anything close to this for that month where we didn't win anything and were getting blown out on a routine basis? I've supported Pastner throughout. But seven years in and we're headed for another sub .500 season when the conference is at one of its nadirs is all the more reason to go in a new direction. He's given us one tourney berth and that lasted all of one game (anybody seen Loyola-Chicago's record this year? It's dreadful. Like almost Louisville bad.). I won't diminish or demean the ACC title Pastner got. But that's now two years ago and we're looking at a conference where the longtime blue bloods of Duke and UNC aren't even ranked (and UNC is one of the first four out by most bracket projections) and Louisville is hot steaming garbage. Pastner's strength was supposed to be recruiting. It hasn't been. I won't beat up on him for not recruiting the state harder or better - the vast majority of Bobby's good to great players weren't from Georgia, either. He had Brian Oliver, James Forrest and Matt "Harppin'" as BC used to call him, on some of his better teams and nobody from Georgia really on his first ACC championship team. He had a good local player - Tony Akins - on some bad teams toward the end. So I digress. For me, Pastner has to get to the ACC championship game to even be considered for a stay of execution.
