    Is that the Pastner that used to be on Arizona? If so, good for him – way to come up!

    Yup, that is the same Pastner that was a player and assistant at Arizona. He proved in Arizona that he is one of the best recruiters in the business. He is definitely going to get good players to come to his program. One of the best young coaches out there.

    Pastner will definitely be out during the live period of AAU basketball. I know he wishes he could have been at Bob Gibbons and Nike MDC. It was a lot of talent out there. Check out our coverage at Courtcred.com.
