Good thing we didn't fire Brad for only making the tournament once in his first 7 seasons, or we wouldn't be where we are today.

And, unlike some other coaches - he coached GT to a ACC Championship.

That’s called expectations. We don’t have those here for basketball.

Correct. GT wants to be really good on a consistent basis.

Do they or do they just like paying buyouts to coaches? Here’s an idea, perhaps the HC is not the problem?

..and a 10-pt loss to arguably the worst Louisville team in memory.
I really REALLY like Pastner and wished it had played out differently.

That used to be a great HC’ing job. Not sure who is running the show but football and basketball have been horrible.

GT has been to the NCAA tournament just once since DRad transformed Alexander Memorial Coliseum into McCamish pavilion.

up and down...Horrible location in Atlanta, typically had bad facilities, no fan base, tough academics, all the off court distractions/agents/bad hombres, good recruiting base, but they usually leave to go somewhere else...The job looks a lot easier than it is

Be careful speaking the truth as the DP Old Man Posse will come after you. Repeat after me: the only thing between GT Basketball and multiple NCs is a different HC
