Sorry for asking about Pastner, I hurt some feelings.

I think if he works as hard at coaching as he does at everything else, even if he is not a good coach from the jump, he will be before too many 20 hr work days pass...

I think that the fact that he was coaching the houston hoops team at age 16 will help. Yea he is proably going to make mistakes but he has a top notch coaching staff and they will help him along the way. I think we have got ourselves a great coach for years to come.

On top of that if he keeps bringing in top notch talent that will help out a lot.

not likely.

he does know strategy and motivation and relates well.

plus he has been involved in coaching and observing for a long time, and he works so hard he isn't going to be ignorant about what to do.

plus he has a lot of experience on the bench with him.

Although Josh Pastner has a great work ethic and is a great recruiter, what if he isnt a good coach?
Specifically what if he isnt really great with the X's and O's, how to utilize timeouts, makes poor decisions with lineups, isnt able to motivate his players, or ends up clashing with players he recruited who may end up being suspended.

I like the optimism for the program in the future with the talent we are bringing in, but most of us assume hes a good coach, but it hasnt been proven yet.

Interminator how well do you sing?

What if? He has hit the ground running faster and more successfully than any Div 1 coach that I can remember. If that is a prelude to what we can expect I am pretty sure we will be fine.

What if you ... ah, never mind.

Roll out the ball (the talent is there)and let them play but teach them how to defend better.... Throw in a few wrinkles here and there and let it rip. Lol

Yeah I think eventually in time he will be a very good coach as he gets experience as a college HC, we've got to remember hes only 31 and has only spent 1 year as a lead assistant.

The recruiting hasnt dropped off since KFC, but I'd be a fool to believe he will be as good of an in game coach as KFC was, other than 4/7/08, immediately after taking over for him.

But thats specifically in recruiting, hes a great recruiter. But you cant confuse being a Great recruiter with being a Great coach.

We'll eventually see in a few more months, but im hoping the transition for him can be helped by Coach Wilson.

His staff is to good to let something like that happen. Willis Wilson has been a head coach for 16+ years I'm sure he can realize and fix a situation that needs attention. I knew Paz would not fail after the bad ass staff he assembled. The infrastructure and coaching is there now all we need is the players and the fans to support the program like never before, Go Tigers!!

trivia question: what was Roy Williams record in his first year at Kansas?

hint: it wasn't very "Roy Williams like"

Doing that as an Assistant and the Head guy are 2 entirely different things, I am sure he has learned a lot related to basketball from his experience on the bench as an assistant.

I appreciate thats hes a humble person and is a hard worker, but finding a young assistant who immediately becomes a good coach is a crapshoot.

At one point in most of their lives, the engineers who now currently work for NASA(National Aeronautics and Space Administration) couldn't launch their own spit 6" in front of their shoe let alone a multi billion dollar space mission. However, this is what most were driven to do since almost infantsy, so it will take a lot of bad things to happen if these people don't make the cut, because it is this of which they breathe, same with Josh.

Part of recruiting is coaching, matching pieces to a puzzle can thwart some, but may come easy to others, it all starts with vision. Ask yourself this, are there any signs that we've seen of Josh's opus that signifies he will be unsuccessful in the X's and O's department??

This is Pastner's opera folks, in case you haven't been informed it begins real soon, so please have a seat and enjoy the show, for this will be unlike anything you've ever seen before. SHHH!!!!!!

if he can't coach, he is still recruiting at a level that should keep Memphis at the top of CUSA...all he has to do at that point is out talent a few big OOC games each year to keep the ball rolling.

Pastner has done a lot more than just recruit so far. He has put together a first class staff, done more favorable media appearances than any new coach in recent memory, and organized the elite camp which include workouts that many players said they were impressed by. All those things go into being a good coach. I think that will continue with the X's and O's on the court. Heck, compared to what he has had to deal with so far, that might be the easy part.

You do realize he took over a team that was stripped bare of talent due to NCAA violations, graduation of Danny Manning, and defections.

When I think of Pastner as a Coach, I think of a younger Pitino.

If he can become as Great of a Coach as Pitino became I will be very happy for him, hopefully he does this at Memphis and we dont have to worry about hiring a new coach for 30+ years.

He coached an AAU National Champion when he couldn't even grow a beard, from his pictures he still can't grow a beard but he can coach.

He already has been a personal coach on the NCAA level. There is no question this is a stupid poll.

With the way he recruits, I say all he has to do is be able to call a time-out and we are ahead of where we were.

Cal had plenty of experience when he didn't call the timeout.

Wilson's Rice teams always played way above their talent level. I think that hire reassured more about the Tiger BBall future than all the other assistants.
He'll be fine.

when I think of Pastner, he reminds me of another former young, rising star in Billy Donovan. He was a top notch recruiter and a great coach. He would get talented players from all over.....Mike Miller from South Dakota for example. Just like Josh getting Will Barton from Maryland. Even though his flame has dimmed a bit after winning consectuvive national titles, that's who Josh most reminds me of. Each has an unparalleled work ethic.

I believe we should wait on this particular poll. What information are we to use to form an opinion. Coach has yet to take the court and actually coach a collegiate basketball game. Give him a couple of years before formulating an opinion. He is green and wet behind the ears as people used to say. I'll tell you what I do know....he has a great work ethic, an unbelievable personality, loves the community he resides in, and has all the tools to succeed. Just lay this poll down for a little nap and bring it back in two years.

Still mad about Lance eh?

Why is this a stupid question? Come on, I'm all for drinking the blue kool-aid, but seriously. The guy has NEVER coached a D1 game, NEVER. As great as I want him to be, no one really knows how good he will be or can be until we see him in game for a season or 2. If he continues to recruit the way he has then talent solves a lot of problems for a coach. But the college landscape is still littered with up and coming, can't miss young coaches that fell flat on their faces. I can't see that happening with Josh, but to rule it out before he even brings a team out on the floor is just putting on blinders.

Comparing AAU to D1 is like comparing a tiger to a t-rex. If we want to go back to the AAU coaching championship, then the arguement can be made in regards to talent and coaching. It's not like he coached me, Stammers, Conway, k2tigers and jgardne to the that AAU crown. Josh, I'm fairly certain, had Marcus Spears, Rashard Lewis, T.J Ford, Lawrence Roberts and Emeka Okafor to name a few on that team. Albeit his team was probably not as "talented" on paper as a couple of the other teams, but it was still a top 3-5 AAU team without question. His team did beat the "best" AAU team that year in the championship by either 2 or 4 points, albeit without that team's best player at the time due to injury. Easterwood can correct me if I'm wrong on any of that.

I do think he is the right fit for the Tigers, and what's he's done since Cal left has been nothing short of amazing. I even voted that I think he will be Roy-like because it's hard for me to imagine Josh failing or even being average with the resources, work ethic and staff he has in place. Still to say it can't happen and not even consider it is just plain foolish.

+1.

I also have no doubt he will be an unqualified success, but he doesn't have a D1 coaching track record. So, it is a fair question.

Having said that, I think he'll be absolutely excellent.

Coaching is overrated
Good players=Good Teams
Great players=Great teams
Its not brain surgury

I think the OP is a fair question, if you want to speculate, which is what message boards are mostly about. But I think there should be one more poll choice entitled, "Too early to tell," because right now it forces you to make a prediction, with no direct evidence.

I have an opinion, but it would take a while to lay out the argument, so this sounds like a good blog subject, when I catch up on business.

Then he'd be on par with Calipari.

Great recruiting and decent coaching has done well for us over the past few years, hasn't it? I do hope he turns out to be a great coach.

Very narrow question.......but I'll play.

Very easy answer to me. If he can't coach......he'll be fired.....just as any coach anywhere would be.

That being said, I think he's going to be, not only a good coach, but a great coach. His bio seems to indicate he was born to do this. Destiny, fate, whatever you want to call it........but it appears the basketball God has looked out for both TIGER basketball and Josh. We have what most.....think.......is a man who is going to do great things for TIGER b-ball and Josh got the opportunity of a lifetime.

Didn't he play under Lute Olson? No wait... Coach under him. No wait. Both! Also 252 win Coach X.

We'll be fine...

If I found out that a guy applied to be the coach of the Los Angeles Clippers at age 19 and he would coach Memphis later in the future, I don't know what I would do.

Again, we'll be fine...

First of all, until a few years ago, Roy Williams was often considered a poor bench coach. Still, he's won two NCs with two teams that were the clear cut best teams those seasons. I would consider Barnes a much better coach as far as the bball mind. But Roy recruits at an absurd level.

That said, JP is an unknown. If he's not great, we'll still be good cause he's such a good recruiter, if he's good/great, we won't see much slippage. I'll go with the latter.

Then it'll be like Cal never left.

not on a tigers' fan site it's not. Maybe ESPN could post this question, but you would think that on a Tigers' fan site that every answer would be 'great coach' or at the very least a few random people voting 'good coach'.

sorry, wording is a little off. sure it's a fair question since it is an unknown, but I would be shocked if anyone voted for anything other than the top 2 choices.

i think he can coach.

wasn't our old coach a great recruiter but not a good x and o coach? we seemed to be alright even still

I voted for Good coach, Great recruiter.

IMO you need 2 Championships before being considered "Great", so that was just a throw in.

Im getting neg repped left and right for asking this question, seriously how thin are some of you guys' skin. I asked a fair question for people to answer and give their own opinion or reasonings for their opinion on what they expect from Pastner.

I dislike KFC for what hes done, but if you believe he was a bad coach or bad motivator I wouldnt go that far. His players respected him, and he teaches his system very well considering the success it has produced in the NBA.

Him playing favorites with some of his players is what I didnt like, when you fell out of favor with him it would be an uphill climb to get back in the rotation or you'd have to transfer. How he handled Robinson has always left a bad taste in my mouth.

If he can't coach... then we'll probably lose a lot of games, attendance will decline, he won't recruit as well in the future, and someone on this board will start a website devoted to firing him, RC will give an extension and a raise.
