[QUOTE="slugboy, post: 938282, member: 282"] I remember that Sasquatch picked Pastner’s assistants, or at least made a lot of suggestions, but I could be incorrect. My perception is that Pastner seems to be an outsider to the Princeton offense and isn’t natural at coaching it, and has more experience with dribble-drive (which he used more of earlier in his tenure here). Brian Gregory was handed a GT program that was stocked with talent, and he ran it down. Pastner’s average is about Gregory’s average—he hasn’t built the program back up. I don’t know how much Calipari built that vs how much Memphis has a local basketball culture, but there is a community that will support Memphis basketball monetarily and in attendance and in pushing local star players to go to Memphis. We could use that here. Calipari had a restaurant in Memphis when he coached there—people identify with that team. Pastner was the proverbial teenager handed a used but well-kept Ferrari for their first car. Calipari handed off a very strong program. It would have been hard to achieve as much as Calipari did, but you could have kept the train going. Pastner has good ideas about what to do. He sees other coaches employ good strategies. He tries to employ them himself. Princeton can be a great offense. Get old, stay old can be a good strategy as well. He hasn’t executed them well here. [/QUOTE]
