Keep your eyes on Josh Pastner the coach of Memphis. He may be a real power in a couple of years. Hopefully we can get him back to Arizona some day. He got his BS, MS and PHD in 5 years while playing basketball at Arizona. He sleeps like 2 hours a night and studies game film while he sleeps

You said it brother! i LIKED WHAT jOSH pASTNER DID...DANGIT. I liked what
Josh Pastner did by going for the jugular at the end and having his hot shooter take the three at the end of the game.
He could have tried for the tie, or let his team coast to a loss against the #1 team in the country. Instead they go
for the win, and the shot bounces off the back iron. Better than hitting the front iron or dropping like an air ball.
Showed a little gas in the tank, and he takes a 50-50 shot at BEATING the number 1 team with a team that by all
rights should have been a huge work in progress. Don't think it doesn't give me alot of satisfaction to see Calipari
under-achieve even after taking all of the 2009 Memphis draft class with him to UK. Haha, then Pastner brings in
yet another top draft class to Memphis and fields a team good enough to beat KU. Maybe it was Pastner's recruiting
power that was putting Cal at the top every year? Still you can't take anything from Cal's ability to close the deal
at the end. But F Cal! UK can have his soiled a$$. Talk about Teflon Dons. has TWO final four appearances vacated
and still comes out smelling like a rose.

Thanks for the heads-up. I don't know him, so will pay attention. One thing for sure - he won't have to go far to be a better citizen than that scumbag Calipari. Hopefully this Pastner will get a chance to coach without Calipari's legacy coming back to bite him inna @$$ with an NCAA penalty.

Take a look at Josh's first recruiting class:

Not bad for a first year head coach.
