oops.

The AD at Tech is former X AD Mike Bobinski.

GT was starting to turn things around. I was surprised by the firing unless they have a bigger name lined up.

Kevin Stallings from Vanderbilt to Pittsburgh

 

6 year deal

It is that crazy time of the year.

Doesn't seem fair to me, but Tech maybe one of those schools who has a hard time competing consistently in the powerful ACC.

Which is what Pitt is becoming.

Seems like an uninspiring hire.

Just read the Phoenix Suns are looking at Jay Wright. What a job opening that would be at Nova.

I don't think Wright leaves, but he is the hot commodity right now.

Sounds like Josh Pastner is going to Georgia Tech, which I think is only a lateral move, if that.

 

Interesting hire by Mike Bobinski (Tech AD), who has usually hired from within or young, up-and-coming coaches.

I think GT is a better job than Memphis.  Good hire, IMO.

[Chris B]

Memphis can (and should) make the tournament on an annual basis. The AAC is good, not great, and should be dominated by the Memphis, UConn and Cincinnati year in and year out.

 

Much more competition in the ACC for Ga Tech.

 

Pastner can certainly recruit, so he should be fine in Atlanta, I just question his actual coaching abilities. Memphis fans are already exuberant if he winds up accepting the Yellow Jackets gig.

Don't forget about SMU... they've been relevant for a few years now under Larry Brown.

 

Pastner is a great hire by GaTech... agree with your analysis though Chris.

[Chris B]

True about SMU, just who knows what back-room dealings are going on there on a yearly basis.

 

I will say I think this is good for Pastner on a personal level. As I said above, his time in Memphis was growing stale so I think it's beneficial for both parties to go their separate ways.

Tubby Smith to Memphis.

[Mackus]

I was astonished to find out he was coaching Texas Tech when they made the tourney this year.

 

If he takes Memphis to the dance, that'll be what his 6th team?

 

He's like a non-sleazy Larry Brown.

Very impressive...

 

Tulsa, Georgia, Kentucky, Minnesota, Texas Tech. 

 

Strong!

Speaking of Texas Tech, new UNLV coach Chris Beard (literally hired last week) might be interested in going to Lubbock, where he was once an assistant. 

 

Weird.
