Josh Pastner?

[up state jacket]

Just heard on Greenville sports talk that Josh is being charged with sexual assault. Anyone know anything? I admittedly only heard the tail end of story.

Oh Lord I hope this isn't true because it would be very rough for GT to have to go on another search for a men's basketball head coach

Ugh, I thought we were done with this Ron Bell crap

GTU sighting

**** like that is why Ron Bell and his idiot gf are going to end up in jail.

Special place in h*** for these two, if this is made up (and all signs point to yes)

Even if it’s not true but GT wants enough of the drama and decides to part ways with Pastner, expect a transfer from Jose and decommits from 2/3 2018 class.

So he had all this supposed access, but still gets our name wrong? Jeez what an idiot. And a tool.

I really hope TStans wouldn't do that.

Now we get a sense of why Pastner sued Bell and his GF recently. He specifically mentioned being accused of sexual assault in his lawsuit, so Pastner knew this was likely coming.

Pastner isn't going anywhere. Unless he was found guilty of this - which seems highly unlikely. Without a guilty verdict GT does not have an ability to fire with cause. To fire without cause would mean paying Pastner 100% of the remaining value of his contract. GT is clearly not in a position to do that.

I’m not an attorney, but this legal action by Pendley and Bell should not be unexpected as a result of lawsuit filed by Pastner against Bell last month or so. I wouldn’t say there’s absolutely nothing to worry about, but I strongly suspect Pastner and Tech knew this coming from Pendley and Bell, are legally prepared for it and that it will generally work out in Pastner’s and Tech’s favor.

It's obvious this was a planned move by Bell and Pendrey (and by extension their attorneys - Paul Gattone & Ashley Gilpin). Leak of pics of the counterclaim (clearly taken by the attorneys themselves as the copies are not yet stamped) coinciding with local news story/hatchet job.

Caveat that I'm not familiar with AZ law, but based on the complete lack of pleading any corroborating evidence, I don't see any way this allegation survives a motion to dismiss.

Oh, and the fact that has been no whiff of law enforcement involvement/investigation of what would be a heinous crime if true.

 

[Techster]

I have ZERO interest reading the complaint in the lawsuit. Waste of brain cells reading something that orginated from Bell who is clearly in revenge mode and wants to take Pastner into the dirt with him even if the accusations are made up. No need giving this guy anymore thought than we already have.

You ever notice how this stuff comes out on a game night or when CJP is out of town?
