[QUOTE="YlJacket, post: 527417, member: 2784"] FWIW Vad wasn't the only one who wasn't thrilled with the Pastner hire. He wasn't my favorite and Red has stated he wrote emails to the AA asking he not be hired. There was a reason Memphis paid to get Pastner to GT and why Bobinski made it a point to take over the assistant hiring process. He came with a rep as a top notch recruiter who ran a really loose program at Memphis. At Tech he has been the opposite. An OK recruiter by ACC standards who has mostly maximized the potential of his players. He has had a major issue with his decision making in the Ron lawsuit and fallout from that - plus I think he mismanaged Lammers injury but that is certainly debatable. But he gets full credit for an ACC COY honor. Striking out on the kids he targeted for this year's class is big and a problem any way you look at it. He can recover to some degree with transfers and hitting a home run with next year's class - but an ACC level coach/recruiter shouldn't strike out like that. Regardless, he and the AA agreed on a contractual structure that gives him at least 4 years and likely 5 to get old/stay old. Buzz hasn't needed that in VT and he started at a point at least as bad as GT. But that is the reality of GT and I find CJP "likeable" so might as well deal with the reality of the situation that this year will suck and hopefully next year we at least are in the discussion. For that to happen Devoe has to become the scorer we hoped he would be and at least one of the many projects we have has to come to fruition as an ACC level player - or we get a grad transfer type who can score from the 4/3 spot.
