I have seen the future of Memphis basketball and I would like to reach out and pinch its cheeks.
Josh Pastner is 31. That’s not much older than some Memphis players under John Calipari.
Memphis wanted to make a “wow” hire. This is more of a “coochie coochie coo.”
At noon today, Memphis athletics director R.C. Johnson will introduce Pastner as the next men’s head basketball coach.
Looks like Memphis has itself a Diaper Dandy.
Or not. Time will tell, won’t it?
At least everyone can return to actual, productive living again.
Y’all can stop obsessing about the coaching search.
Y’all can stop — please, stop! — suggesting names of wonderful candidates.
It’s done, over, finished.
