[QUOTE="Peacone36, post: 220902, member: 1374"] In 2011, I reaaaaallly wanted Cuonzo Martin. When it was apparent he wasn't coming I wanted Chris Mooney. I HATED the BG hire from the day it was rumored and always will. It was a cop-out, a lazy move. That said he was a great dude and a hard worker. Ultimately if I had gotten my way with either of the first two I doubt we would have had much more success. Moral of the story: in the end what **** do I know right? Along with dtm, Pastner was #1 on my "hell no" list. Most of the reasoning behind that was obviously his in game ability, but also the salary and buyout that he would command if he were to come here. It appears that our AD was able to get us a favorable deal, though I have yet to see the buyout specifics. While I was never a believer that BG could be saved by hiring an X's and O's assistant for the simple reason that his recruiting chops were also terrible, I am willing to concede that if Pastner puts the right staff together with strong in game knowledge he can be successful because in the end he is (or at least up until 2 years ago was) one of the top 5 recruiters in the entire CBB world. I said before that the next 14 or so months of recruiting will be more interesting than the basketball. Right now this program is an aircraft carrier not a canoe, gonna take some time to turn this franchise around and I say that to myself as much as anyone as I am not the most patient (no no no, it's ok, I'm aware) I think he did well with the presser, bringing in Huff and White (or young)would win him some battles in the city (esp young as you would win 2 ways) and bringing in Moore and possibly Simmons right off the back along with keeping your 3 other commits would get the boards/fans on your side with an immediate talent infusion. If he gets those 3 wins (already won the PC IMHO) he will be off to a very good start. I'm dipping my toe in the water trying to get a feel for the temperature, I do like this hire more than the BG hire because as I believe Mike said our ceiling is higher. Little bit more long winded than usual but there it is. I'm in, let's get it. I'd love to look back in 5 years and be wrong about the coaches I wanted again, but this time I'd also enjoy being wrong about the coach we got. [/QUOTE]
