[QUOTE="RamblinRed, post: 788720, member: 1776"] My feelings with coaches at GT are pretty simple. I may not have wanted one hired, but once they are hired they are 'my coach' until the day they are not at GT anymore and I hope they win every game. His first year bought him a signficant amount of good will with me. That was one of the best coaching jobs I had seen at GT in over 30 years. The combination of the NCAA issues and the whiff on the '19 recruiting class used up most of that goodwill. At that point I said i needed to see if the recruiting whiff was just a one year thing (which is what it appears to have been based on the last 2 years recruiting) and whether he could get past the NCAA issues and get the team into the NCAA Tourney. IMO he had through year 5 to do that as, given his contract, yr 5 was likely to be the extend or cut bait year. The reason this team is likely to take a step back next year (barring sr making the surprise decision to stay) is because of that '19 whiff. But other than that I think the future looks positive with 2 good recruiting classes and a couple of SO transfers that look like they should turn into significant contributors over their last couple of seasons. Also, with an ACC Tourney title, an NCAA Tourney appearance, and winning the appeal with the NCAA, I would hope for good recruiting the next couple of years. And that includes transfer recruiting which is now a significant part of recruiting at most schools. So if the team ultimately does step back a little next year that will not be a big concern to me, I sort of see it as taking a step back to take 2 steps forward. This year has been another good year of showing good x and o's coaching as well as player development. This is the first year where Pastner didn't really have a big rim protector at the 5 spot and the staff did a good job of re-prioritizing the defense to emphasize where it has strengths and minimize weaknesses. It has also been one of the best offensive teams in the last 20 years. [/QUOTE]
