The Country

This is the last time I'm going to address why I think the University of Memphis basketbal program has never made it beyond an also ran. Larry Finch has died and been buried and they still didn't do right by him. He is like the old uncle locked away in the nursing home . They have him declared incompetent while they steal the family fortune. I don't know whether the University of Memphis fans know it or not , but they just got swindled again. The resumes of the assistant coaches run circles around that of the new head coach. .http://www.gotigersgo.com/sports/m-baskbl/mtt/pastner_josh00.html In a city where they want policemen to have college degrees. How did Josh Pastner get the top job in the city with no credentials? I'm not hatin on Josh Pastner, just pointing out the obvious.

Maybe we're going for the Jeff Van Gundy thing. No previous experience necessary. Substitute showing up for basketball practice and watchng game flms for actually being in charge of a team Since he comes highly recommended by other former coaches who haven't won a title. We'll put the whole ball of wax on him. What if he doesn't work out as planned? Then we;ll be forced to pay millions for his replacement or find another Larry Finch.. Which only happens once in a lifetime. Should we guarantee Pastner $8.5 million in order to find out if he'll even be marginally successful? Looking at his resume, I think we have the highest paid trainer in the country.
