If you are in the middle you must be a Pastner lover, Therefore there is no middle allowed on this board.

I could care less anymore what side I appear to be on in the view of others. I see what I see, and I say what I say. Categorize me anyway you like. I'm not interested in picking a side (or a middle).

I can see both sides of an argument, and I have no problem changing my opinion when I hear a good counter argument.

Being right is much less important to me than knowing the right thing is being done. But once a person digs their heels in and takes a stance, they no longer have the ability to see the other side of the argument.

They go blind.

I totally concur.

I say give him an open-ended contract and allow his lawyers to fill in the blanks. Hey everyone has to eat, lawyers too.

Many supporters including me initially thought Josh had the right stuff to become a successful high level HOF coach so he may as we do it here, Right? He’s already making HOF money so let's give him as much time as needed to learn and get there.

Even if he doesn’t make it past the first weekend next season it won’t matter as much because his supporters won’t care either. These days the power of the word has more power than reality.

Such is life.

Unfortunately it’s much more complicated than this. The supporters of Pastner are doing so now on emotions. Not being able to win the big games and playing on a higher level is not considered. The only thing that matters is Josh remains the coach & face of Tiger Basketball.

The supporters who wants the program to prosper thinks winning big games and playing at a higher level as a must do for success. This is a huge difference.

Pastner supporters want Josh to succeed while Tiger program supporters want the program to succeed no matter who the coach is.

I'm glad for you that you think that can read the minds and thoughts of everyone, whether you've met them or not.

I predict that you have an excellent future as a soothsayer.

For the most part, if someone presents a view that isn't "pro-Tigers" that person is ridiculed by a certain segment of this board.

The branding of trolls, haters, tamms, bullies, etc are directed towards people who very well may have a differing, yet completely well founded, opinion.

That is where the board has devolved.

BOOM!! NOW you can lock the thread

Stammers, it is important to NOT prejudge. What you quoted is merely Saluki offering two two completely different, yet well founded, opinions.

Juice boxes and orange slices, indeed.

So right, but I have to make a slight correction to what you posted...

FIFY.

Is the only reason other schools are not coming after Pastner the immense buyout?

At Least?
At Least?
Really, how about at most?
I have been a Tiger BB fan since 1973-74 season.
This is the FIRST YEAR I did not watch not one game. Not one. Didn't even try.
I was so ashamed after last year and the year before and the year before.
I WAS a huge supporter of Josh Pastner. NOW>>>I just want this fixed.
One more year at least, NAY I say ONE MORE YEAR AT MOST!!!!

At most? So what happens if next year turns out to be a tremendous success?

That would mean that someone other than Pastner will be the head coach.
