'25 Coaching Carousel Thread

I just can’t begin to say how jealous I am of Iowa, Minnesota, NC State, Indiana … all those teams’ fans reasons to be excited about their futures. We’re in for another couple months where we have to hope that a social media follow or some tenuous connection means we might have a chance at a player … and nothing will come of it and we will end up with several transfers who probably aren’t in the top 100.

The tone that I read this in was similar to Coach Klein

I remember when Pastner was supposed to be OU's next coach while he was at Memphis. Dodged a bullet on that one he wasn't so successful @ GA Tech.

Pastner's dad was a hoops big shot in Houston and for a time Pastner was seen as an ace young gun recruiter can't miss type guy. He did parlay that into two good jobs and did OK but sort of a poor man's early Scott Drew (who I don't like but give some credit for improving a lot as a now veteran coach and has an NC). Talent was better than the coach.

Pastner would never have been my first choice at OU. I used to read the hoops board at hornfans.com which before TJ Ford had a lot of interesting threads with a lot of posters from different schools.....overall horn inflected but a lot interesting Big XII talk, too.

After TJ, it became a usual type horn circle jerk. Anyway, I remember them drooling about Pastner at UT once he got some seasoning.

Speaking of former horn coaches, someone mentioned Penders above.....I do think he had an Elite 8 at Texas with Terrance Rencher and Lance "Someone". We had a great record against Penders but those guys were good players.

Also I thought of Tom P. in whatever thread we've talked here about the "new today type coach" has to be money savvy/NIL/portal and such. I read an article about Penders when he was at George Washington (and I think he had some good not great teams there).....about how his wife handled all the money and gave him an "allowance".....daily, weekly or something.

Which is totally fine with me but means probably no Tom Penders grand comeback in this day/age. lol
