Four Years Ago Today: March 29, 2011
The Tigers rewarded head basketball coach Josh Pastner with a five-year extension that will keep [him] in Memphis until the 2015-16 season.
The university said Tuesday that the extension is worth approximately $1.7 million per season.
"We have everything we need to be successful and build championship-caliber teams. From a modern arena, to a great practice facility, to one of the strongest fan bases in the nation, to an outstanding recruiting area, Tiger basketball is one of the top five programs in the country and should always remain at that elite level," he said.

I agreed with the extension and the thoughts expressed at that time. I think most did.

The season had been an improvement over the previous year, the team actually played very well at the end of the season, and recruiting looked very strong. This extension was only half of what we were paying Calipari, and seems to me to be a very good deal for the University.
