Another, I hope serious, question: Do you advocate that the donors have no place in the selection process and/or the development of the program? And yet another question (serious in this case because I truly don't like the kicking incident): Are there facts other than the kicking incident that support the contention that "Pasternack is a tire fire waiting for a lighter"? What I am aware of from posts on this Board are conclusory (i.e., un-sourced) assertions that his personality is in some way grating, and that (in deep contrast to, say, Cuonzo) he has a tendency to go over the top (?against officials?, ?in criticizing players?, I'm not sure); and I want to make clear that I do not automatically discount un-sourced assertions, just because they are un-sourced.

---

I think they should have a say, but it has been implied that the donation for the practice facility was pending hiring Pasternak, that is pretty extreme influence. The tire fire is based solely on the kicking incident, I was sitting right there. I have never seen that before, and it shows the guy can't control his temper in a stressful moment. But I like the hiring of Jones, I think it will work out well.

Wow. Either he knew something or just threw that out there so he could brag later...or maybe it took some time to tentatively lineup some assistants.

Shocky did want the new coach to retain Jones....He is still on staff.

What up Shocky? You good with this?

😕

Shocky is alarmingly silent right now.

His target audience doesn't care that his prognostications for who the new head coach would be were wholly inaccurate

I'm a little concerned with what Joe and Shocky are doing on yoga mats...

wyking, let's get our favorite walk on prospect from bishop gorman tagged by cal admissions, ok?

great young man from a terrific family at a position of need

Welcome home Shocky!

wyking, what up?

congrats on the well deserved announcement of you as the head coach of the california golden bears, you are absolutely the right guy for the job with respects to credibility with the current players & their families, the ability to retain cal's impact (with shooters) go all the way up class (2017), your relationships with the future of cal basketball jordan brown & issac hymes & your 1st hand experience working with cal admissions

i've enjoyed our conversations in the past even the 6:00 am flight from phx to oak that you fell asleep on me during our conversation with your hoodie cover but no worries i will continue to support you & your basketball team of high character true student athletes...but i do need you to do me a solid, can you get me a stormin' the floor get out of jail card from ash & mike for next season when charlie & jemarl start raining epic game winning moneyballs in berkeley?...seriously doubt any french manufactured seatbelt is gonna stop me & the cal basketball faithful fans from fully expressing ourselves, that's just the ******* magic of cal basketball

this **** is getting live

wyking, i don't gotta tell you this but life is not linear...what time is your flight to toulouse (don't forget your passport, big guy)?

the #1 priority for the next head basketball coach in putting together their staff will be to retain current interim head coach wyking jones as part of the new staff, wyking was in the stands last nite to keep an eye on justice sueing jr

wyking grew up in inglewood, played ball collegiately at loyola marymount & his wife estrella is from berkeley which is why he left louisville after 2 final fours & a 2013 ncca national championships...he don't wanna follow martin & webster to the show me the deal maker state plus michael jr & jontay are gonna be coached by their dad porter sr

jones is critical to the retention of cal's go all the way up class (2017), he's close to all the guys particularly the so cal j trio of jemarl, juhwan & justice...he's well respected by 2019 sharpshooter commit trevin knell & he's been a key player in the recruitment of kj hymes (and his little bro isaac who is the future of cal basketball) along with superstar jordan brown

yeah wyking is gonna be on the cal bench again next season, just hope he don't order any more of that green **** drinks when the bears go to maui this november

You're the last person who should be bagging on bad predictions. You were always focused on the wrong names from the start of this process to its conclusion.

Think of it as performance art and don't take it too seriously.

It is YOUR reporting. I have neither the patience or the time for you but you can go search up your postings.

That is the point. You either hold yourself to the starndard of a reporter or you hold yourself up as a fan (or a fun post-modernist ironic paradoy of a fan). But you are disinginious in the extreme to move back and forth between the two as your mood (or argument) suites you. We have enough of that. One example resides in the White house.

can't discuss specifics but thrilled with coach wyking's 3 assistant coach decisions

the magic of cal basketball#

Will Wyking be attending and watching Jemarl Baker and Jordan Brown in their State Championship games?

Can Wyking catch a flight to France, visit with Oliver and return to Berkeley to hold his planned Wednesday news conference?

Has Wyking selected and reached agreement with his assistants?

When will Wyking announce his staff?

viney, as soon as possible, he's already got his 3 assistant coaches selected

great day for cal basketball#

Shocky,

Does selected mean both sides are in agreement to join the staff?

Is the announcement pending their notification of their current employer?

Does he have to hold off disclosing names until they clear the university's hiring approval process?

Early this afternoon, all the cynics got a chance to come on BI and pizz and moan, but now I feel like Cal basketball fans are starting to get behind this.

Time for a renaissance: What if we were all working as one and cheering on our Golden Bears!
