He had been coaching the basketball black hole that was/is UNT hoops...just getting them to the NCAAs a couple of times, and having 5 straight 20+ win seasons got him the LSU job...plus his recruiting, experience, and ties to the school.

He has a solid team this upcoming season.

He recruited Shaq O'Neal to LSU and is one of his best friends. Shaq has helped him in recruiting. I wish he had gotten the Memphis job but our fans would have wanted him fired by his 4th year. Instead we got Cal and a vacated season. Plus his #1 recruit (Rose) hasn't given one cent to the program.

So you'd want Johnny, great guy withstanding, over Cal. That's just a line of thinking that I just can't relate to.

That doesn't surprise me because only winning at any cause is your motto. Johnny knew he wasn't getting the job and he thought Cal was right choice as I did at the time. But Cal put a black mark on this BB program but I guess you will except that as long as we win. Oh wait, we vacated the 2007/08 season and as he did at Umass in 96. Just win baby just win.

In all fairness, forgotten in all this is that Johnny Jones was involved in a very serious recruiting scandal as an assistant in the late 90's. Lester Earl alleged that Jones personally gave him $6,000, arranged for Earl to have surgery before enrolling at LSU, and facilitated a meeting between Earl and another booster; who also gave money to Earl.

The NCAA cleared him of most of it, but in the end you still had the recruit on record saying that Johnny Jones gave him money.

We have had four different coaches take us to the Elite 8, maybe the logic is that we get there every 8 years or something like that and it's our program not the coach?

If that’s the case why didn’t the money boys pay him the average of the 4 coaches adjusted for inflation? Why pay a first time unproven coach a top salary and include a buyout that is improbable to use?

That's just it: he doesn't command respect. Thus a lot of people call him Josh or Coach Josh. They talk about him like he's a kid.

You won't find many people refer to Nick Saban as Nick or Coach Nick.

I love that Pastner is a good guy with a good heart. No one will question that about him. But I think you can be that guy and still command respect. I'm not sold that his players take him serious. Who knows, maybe they do. But the perception among some is that they don't.

Diverse group of basketball insiders. The weird thing is that's the same axiom used by 30% of the posters on here. Heck, it's the same axiom from 100% of the anti-Tiger posters on here.

A March 27 thread getting more attention now makes sense...because certainly all the games Memphis has played since then have shed new light on things.

Tough season last season for sure...some pretty good stuff since it ended.

Enjoy next year...

I actually like my bank to call me by my first name. I feel it shows an interest and they're not just patronizing me. In addition, I've heard Josh on the radio several times ask radio hosts and interviewers to call him Josh. If it's good enough for Josh on the radio, I don't think he would feel any disrespect from a bunch of clowns on a message board calling him by his first name. I also believe that hardly anyone here would call him Josh in public unless they were friends with him already.
