[QUOTE="RamblinRed, post: 699515, member: 1776"] I think there are alot of good remarks in these last few posts. I agree with the idea that next year is one of the most important years for GT basketball in a long time. As mentioned, if we have to start over, it means another rebuild and the kids who are coming of age now have never seen GT in the NCAA tourney. I agree with DTM that for me it is NCAA or bust for Pastner. He was told he would have five years, next year is year 5. For this year my goal was an NIT team that was a bubble NCAA team. it fell a little short of that. They very likely could have been a NIT team if they didn't accept the ban. But i think ADStan made the right long term decision. I hope it keeps the returning players hungry. if Jose or Mike get injured the staff and players have to figure out how to stay afloat next year. Those are huge losses, but you have to find a way to overcome them. I also am not expecting for GT to be in the NCAA tourney for 9 straight seasons. That is unrealistic. I'd be satisfied with 3 out of 5 years. We will never recruit like we did in the 80's and early 90's like Cremins did. the recruiting landscape has changed too much. At the end of this season i would consider this a good season, not a really good season, not a great season, but a good season. While they were not a bubble team i think the team was playing at a NCAA bubble level. Cuse has correctly mentioned how our schedule has helped us late. I said at the beginning of the year if we could muddle through at .500 until the home game against NCST that the schedule at that point turns favorable for a run. Unfortunately we were 2 games short, we needed to be 10-9, not 8-11. Next year will be a different team, even with so many returning players. I expect to continue to see the tempo increase on offense. We made a sizable jump in tempo this year, I expect to see that even more next season. None of our guards are super + athletes, but Jose and Mike in particular are really crafty. But are really good at using change of speed and direction to penetrate defenses and create shots. i do not expect us to be as good at rim protection next season, but I expect our defense to still be solid. I really liked Cuse's remark about cautious optimism. That is where i am. I think the potential is there, but it has to be realized. The ACC is going to be much stronger next season. Most teams are returning the majority of their players after many had little rebuilds this season. For the first time since the end of season 1 with Pastner it feels like there may be a little tailwind. Can the program use it. I am rooting for Pastner and the players as having a strong season next year is much better for GT than the alternative. I still don't know if Pastner is the long term answer, but after the fall recruiting and next season i suspect we will know. [/QUOTE]
