Excellent interview, Dan. You asked questions that were thoughtful and informed, much more so that the typical media fluff we often get, and, by doing so, we got an insider view of the Gaucho program and got to know a bit about Pasternack's coaching philosophy and his values in building the program. I know it would be a tall task but it would be great if you were able to conduct this kind of interview with each of the head coaches in the Big West at some point in the future.
Thanks for the comments Bob. There are two of us contributing to the Banter. Daniel Curry is doing all the game previews and summaries now while Greg Ford (myself) did the season previews and the interviews with Coach DeGeorge of Poly and Pasternack. I did reach out to all 11 coaches and only those two responded. I do plan to reach out to the coaches again in a couple of weeks, too busy with my actual job right now.
Good report! I get the concept of 7-8 deep in college ball, but would like to see a longer rotation. Did his coaching mentors depend so much on winning 3 games in 3 days? Used to be some of the majors didn’t even have them. The Big Dance allows players to recharge much more easily.
Sorry I meant some of the larger schools didn’t even have conference tournaments. And others didn’t rely upon them to keep their seasons alive, generally

A little concerning about KKT.
