It’s gettin’ on down to put-up-or-get-a-new-job for Josh Pastner, who hasn’t improved the Georgia Tech program he inherited, and hasn’t gotten the Jackets into the postseason. They’ll be sitting out the NCAAs no matter what they do this season, thanks to NCAA sanctions. Not ideal!
The Jackets could potentially make a decent move in the positive direction this season, and maybe that would be enough to ease pressure on Pastner despite the NCAA troubles. Tech returns four of their top five scorers from last season and begins the season at No. 66 in the Pomeroy Ratings, which suggests a team capable of being good enough to challenge for an at-large bid.
