So, let me get this straight. You discount AK's superior win total, winning percentage, conference wins and SEC tourney and you base success COMPLETELY on NCAA tourney wins.

And you defend Pastner how? By that strained logic Pastner is less successful than Cuonzo. 3 ncaa wins to 2. And he's gone to a S16. Hell, for that matter so is Rod Barnes. You proved it yourself.

No, apparently YOU discount all of AK's accomplishments by requiring that NCAA wins be the standard bearer for being a "winning coach." Therefore, by extension, in arguing AGAINST AK's superior regular season success but lack of NCAA wins, you indict Pastner, who has done well in the regular season but flopped in the NCAA's.

Just heard AK on the postgame radio. Wow. He has more basketball knowledge in his pinkie finger than Pastner will ever have.

I listened to a halftime interview with Hoiberg the other day. It was night and day compared to JP. One guy gives actual insight and analysis of what was occurring on the court while the other spends his time patronizing everyone on the other team.

I used to defend Pastner until the blowouts last year. At this point I think any coach would be an upgrade. What about Tim Miles? Miles, Lawson, and some real assistant coaches with head coaching experience. Heck. TN Vols coach would be a huge upgrade too. We've never won a game we shouldn't have won in six years. Last year's team should have at least been sweet 16. 4 guard lineup while King rotted on the bench? Seniors playing like freshman and could've had a future NBA big man that transferred. Come on!

Not a fan of AK. Would probably be an upgrade to Pastner, but there's better out there for cheaper.

Kennedy has an extremely experienced team this season, and they SHOULD be playing well. They shouldn't have lost to Charleston Southern and Western Kentucky with a team loaded with veterans.

Next year when he has to reload, he'll probably be just as bad as Pastner's team this season.

Kelvin Sampson made the NCAA tournament 11 out of 12 seasons at Oklahoma.

He only made it 1 time in 7 seasons before that at Washington State.

Sometimes, it's all in where the good coach is coaching.

My idea of a successful coach:

Make NCAA tourney 75% of the time and make 1 Sweet 16 run 20% of the time

Posts like these make it very easy to group fans like you; fans who exist in life, only to hate Pastner. And don't say that you don't. Since your return from your 4 year "retirement" all you have done is blast him.

You're easy to spot. You go into hysterics and look at the most negative option every single time. Fans like you won't even give Pastner any credit for games that he has won.

What if...

- EW makes the 3 pointer?
- The refs make the call when Spoon is mugged?
- We close out Georgetown on the last possession?
- Mike Stuart doesn't rape us?
- JJ makes the shot against Florida?
- We don't get screwed at UConn to the tune of 23-12 fouls?

We have had a LOT more bad luck than good. No surprise that you think it would be fair if we had no luck at all.

Pieces of crap like Seth Greenberg, Dave Leitao, Stan Heath, Frank Haith, and John Pelphrey got good offers. After 8 years, Kennedy would have gotten a couple if anyone thought he was doing a good job. The cab thing didn't help, but it's not like he is Bobby Petrino.

Bluto and Saluki both poked me for not voting in the Pastner poll. I think you only fire him if you have someone really good lined up and you don't fire him unless the deal is done beforehand. If by some miracle you get Marshall or even Smart, you pull the trigger.

If you are looking at guys like Andy Kennedy; then you might as well wait and see if someone really good will pop up the year after. Coaches like Andy Kennedy are a dime a dozen; and besides; Kennedy will be available the year after anyway.

Cuonzo was about to be run out of town; barely made the tournament, and then got the luckiest draw on the planet. I'm pretty sure Tennessee would have lost to Duke. I'm pretty sure we would have beaten Mercer.

Bruce Weber is a band aid. He is a great floor coach who will eventually run a program into the ground, because he can't recruit. Andy Kennedy is a little better than a band aid, but not by much.
