[QUOTE="Jazzchaz, post: 519078, member: 3823"] Tech basketball started drifting downward much longer than 14 years ago. It really started when players were allowed to go pro early. Cremins put SO much effort into getting a select few players, that when junior Scott and underclassmen Anderson and Marbury left so soon, he never recovered. After his not for long resignation he was a shell of himself. Hewitt is a terrible game day coach, but for a few years, he was able to recruit and guys like, Jack, Elder, and Bynum, willed our team through not so difficult competition to the NCAA final....where Tech and the refs stunk up the building. Ah, but then our administration, falsely thinking we had found 'our' coach, and fearing that he might leave, finished our program off for the next 14+ years. Blewitt gets fired so we can sever the rollover contract, but we had no money to attract a coach. So feeling scared we grab Gregory. We get rid of him.....and then we had to hire a coach cheap enough so we could pay salaries for THREE at the same time. Madness! Adding Fatal Attraction and losing our recruiter is icing on the dung cake. It's obvious in both football and basketball, that elite athletes and those that think they are......are convinced that the only way to showcase their talent to the NFL and NBA is to cram into a few programs. They are wrong, of course, but they read everything on twitter and believe it. I like Pastner. I never expected him to be a great offensive coach. But I do think he has to surround himself with somebody who is and hire recruiters. As for this week, didn't we add the Arkansas game late? It was obvious to me today that the three games in 5+ days had taken their toll. But everybody is tired of excuses. Tech basketball should be he hottest ticket in town. I actually enjoy watching these guys and think we're headed in the right direction....but having them struggle after watching all the kooky things our program has been through the last 20+ years I understand everybody's frustration......but I'll be at every game.....
