[QUOTE="BeeRBee, post: 938479, member: 1466"] I echo your thanks, and I too appreciate that he was willing to take the job and that he was enthusiastic about it. I do think he left the program in better shape than when he got here. At the least, he demonstrated that it was still possible at GT to have winning conference records, and to win the ACC. He recruited good players who stayed, even if there were enough failures that ultimately meant he did not succeed. It's a fact of life that coaching jobs represent the face of the program, and if you lose the confidence of the fanbase it's hard to move forward. I've read somewhere that you are either selling success, or you are selling hope and sometimes the only way to get the hope back is to change the coach. GT desperately needs to increase revenues, and although the size of McCamish means there is not a lot of headroom increasing MBB attendance is one source and I don't think that was going to happen if Pastner came back. On the other hand, we'll have to see who is hired and whether they can create enough excitement to make a meaningful difference. There was very little bump from Gregory's last year to Pastner's first. I hope that Batt and his team have plans to improve student attendance, as well as attract season ticket holders. [/QUOTE]
