"He's cute to look at anyway."

So...we got a new coach.
Whether he's actually older than all of the players has not yet been decided.

Josh Pastner has been an Assistant Coach at the University of Memphis for one year. Prior to that, he was an Assistant Coach at Arizona for five years under Lute Olson.

Advantages
He was the lead recruiter for John Calipari.
He's smart — as a student athlete he graduated in two-and-a-half years; he also has a master's degree and is a PhD candidate.
He has a lot of AAU connections, especially in Houston where his dad is a big-time AAU coach.
He's been a "student of basketball" which means he's really studied the game, as opposed to some young coaches who have merely played it.
He's trained under two of the best head coaches in the game.
He can maybe talk one or two of Cal's recruits into still coming to UofM???
He's cute to look at anyway.
At least he didn't come from UT. *makes face*

Disadvantages
He has no head-coaching experience.
It will be hard to watch the game live with all those people holding up the MARRY ME JOSH signs in front of you.
His name is kind of hard to remember so he'll end up being referred to as "Coach McDreamy."
The rest of the NCAA may be under the impression that we've hired one of the Jonas Brothers.

Go get'em, Josh Hotty or whatever your name is.
