[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 699224, member: 2299"] This year will always be a big what if year. What if Jose didn't go out early. What kind of impact would that have made for us, not just in the games that he missed, but in the games after, because this team certainly progressed as the year went on. IMO it's a fair criticism to say that Pastner should have had this level of team last year in year 3. I think it's also fair to still have doubts about whether he is the long term answer for us as a head coach. I think even if you have concerns though you have to concede that as a program we're probably in a better place than we have been in a long time. Finishing with a winning record, losing only one rotation player, and adding a solid recruiting class This year Pastner did a good job of fielding a team with a starting 5 that could compete with anyone. He also did a good job of addressing the consistency issues that plagued last year's team. With the exception of the first Syracuse game we had winning chances in all other ACC games. Lastly he did a good job of coaching the team up to finish games which was a big reason we finished as strong as we did. We weren't a complete team though. We really lacked the depth that we need and we turned the ball over too much. Also even late in the year we struggled some in putting teams away when we had a big advantage. Those are all things he needs to address in the off season. Overall Pastner has us set up pretty well going forward. He still needs to prove that the payoff is there. Both on the court with an NCAAT appearance, and hopefully more, but also recruiting landing a big 2021 class. Still a lot of work to be done, but I think there is sufficient reason to believe he can do it. [/QUOTE]
