    Seeing that Georgia Tech swung and missed on both Bryce Drew (Vandy) and Jeff Capel (Duke). Focus is now on Cal’s Cuonzo Martin (who was previously at Tennessee). Martin would be a fine hire.

    “Gorjok Gak (any relation to Todd?)” – is that Dutch

    Khan might be able to help me out, but I believe it’s Klingon (using alternate transliteration) for acne and serpent worms (a Klingon delicacy; yum!). Of course, technically Khan should be in hypersleep or something. Maybe he still gets phone service in his little sleep chamber. That is, if J.J. Abrams didn’t alter that aspect of the timeline. Please tell me we still had Eugenics Wars in the 90’s.

    Josh Pastner, of Memphis, hired to take the helm at Georgia Tech:

    Pastner’s deal with the Yellow Jackets is worth $11 million over six years, a source told ESPN’s Andy Katz. He will owe Memphis $500,000 for leaving the job.

    Wow. I would rather take a chance on someone who’s trajectory is going the opposite direction of Partner’s, but you never know.

    Pastner has established recruiting contacts in the Atlanta area. Going to be a struggle starting out.

    As we know, it’s more than just recruiting. I don’t think Partner is a good in game coach.

    Worse yet, spell check automatically corrects his name.

    Not a huge splash at this point. Tech can obviously be a winner with the right guy. Time will tell but seems like a bail out move for Pastner.

    Memphis is focusing their search on Texas Tech’s Tubby Smith. That’s right, that would be a move from the Big 12 to the American Athletic for the Tubster.

    Why in God’s name would Tubby agree to THAT? Other than Memphis having better food/nightlife?

    Confirmed, Tubby to Memphis.

    I didn’t even know Tubby was still around.

    Didn’t realize this about Tubby:

    It’s not easy to find success at multiple stops. However, Smith became the second coach in Division I history to lead five teams to the NCAA tournament when he guided Texas Tech to the Big Dance last month.

    Will he establish a record and make Memphis the sixth?

    Former Little Rock/current UNLV coach Chris Beard is likely to take the Texas Tech job, as it is his dream job as he served as an asst there for 10 years. He just got on campus!!!!

    If you want to work for Pastner, no golf for you!

    GT is going to be holding classes in refrigerator boxes if they keep hiring coaches like this. I wonder if any team has ever been paying three coaches buyouts at once.

    I wish we had had the same policy with Lowe. Dude hardly worked.

    Yep, Texas Tech poached Beard just 7 days after he accepted the UNLV gig. Unprecedented.
