@GaryParrishCBS: Lots of folks asking about Kuran Iverson. Here’s what I can say: My understanding is he’ll never play another minute for Memphis again. ...

@GaryParrishCBS: Remember, Josh Pastner once booted a McDonald’s All-American before he ever played a game. So he won’t tolerate Iverson’s antics.

@GaryParrishCBS: … So don’t expect anything to be announced today or even this week. But, rest assured, Kuran Iverson is done at Memphis.

They're coming for you, Josh...

 

[Joobie]

Did he refuse to practice? Coz, I hear that's common in folks with that last name.....

 

[husky99]

Rumor was Iverson had discipline issues in high school. Many top schools ran away from him

 

[scotty0330]

His talent was not even that great to take a chance on a kid who has behavior issues. Never understood how is ranking was justified by his skill set. Another example of sometimes the best recruit is the one you don't get

 

[UofMemphis]

Yeah, but: Jalen Kendrick, Kuran Iverson, Dom Woodson, Dom Magee, I mean, how many 'swing and a miss' kids does Pastner get? My patience is wearing thin...

Maybe there's a reason those kids keep ending up with Memphis.

What ever happened with Woodson, didn't he just leave UT also?

 

[alexd]

Iverson's ranking dropped every year in high school...He was a top 20 nationally ranked sophomore and went nowhere but down hill from there, Makes you wonder.

Who is Gary Parrish?

Actually as a freshman and sophomore he was ranked right behind Jabari Parker at like #3 in the national rankings, he fell like a rock his junior year but rose again to around #25 by his senior year.

Who is Gary Parrish?

Not sure if this is a joke, but he is a CBB writer for CBS, located in Memphis

 

[61cygni]

Yes, Gary Parrish is a joke.

I hope you never fire him.

 

[UofMemphis]

There is, and it's because just like Elliot Williams, Will Barton, and Tarik Black...they want to get to the NBA...Question is, is Josh Pastner the guy to get them there?

I believe Memphis can do better.

 

[CallMeBruce]

Pastner's about to get Bruiser Flint'd.

Thanks, didn't know who he was but if he is in Memphis he probably knows something if he going that far out on a limb.
We never really went after Iverson very hard so maybe he had issues.

But I thought Providence outrecruited UConn for him?!?!

Have to agree. I was a sunshine pumper for Josh for his first 4 seasons, started to waiver some last season, and now just think he needs to be replaced before our program gets further run in the ground. It's sad - he's a good, clean cut guy but just not a good D-1 head basketball coach.

Up until this year, I was fine with Pastner...

25-10 NCAA Second Round
26-9 NCAA Second Round
31-5 NCAA Third Round
24-10 NCAA Third Round

106-34, 4 straight NCAAs

^ I can live with that, no problem...losing to something called Carleton...and losing to teams like CBU, SFA, and Tulane is NOT ok.

Getting to the NBA for a couple of weeks is different than being NBA players. What did Memphis and/or Pastner do to develop these guys? I know Black transferred to Kansas, I had to google the other 2.

He retweeted some comment criticizing pastner's coaching style

Elliot Williams played 2010-2013 with Portland...2013-14 with Philly...now he's on a contract with the Jazz

That's not 'a couple of weeks'

Will Barton was/is with Portland, under contract...

That's not a couple of weeks, either...

It's like it's not getting through, I want Pastner gone, but folks still want to argue.
