Technical Tidbits 2/22: Jackets fall to NC State, barely miss comeback bid

Related Topics: Student section, Josh Pastner

If you missed out on Georgia Tech’s weekend victory against Syracuse, you also missed out on the entire student section heckling Orange guard John Gillon with relentless chants of “airball” after an early-game miscue. The Georgia Tech consensus was that the chants were both hilarious and effective given that Gillon finished with 7 points on 2-10 shooting, but a disgruntled Syracuse fan who called Josh Pastner following the game evidently had a different view. Pastner’s response to the angry voicemail was to call the man back and explain why chanting airball is a perfectly acceptable thing to do at the ACC level, but how effective his response was remains to be seen.
