Memphis head coach Josh Pastner welcomed a baby girl into the world with his wife last Thursday. This is noteworthy for two reasons: First of all, it turns out the baby-faced skipper is old enough to procreate, if not shave. Second, he used his time in the delivery room as a recruiting wedge:
Memphis Recruits Apprised Of The State Of Josh Pastner’s Wife’s Cervix
↵OK, but did you call any recruits?
“I did,” he said.
So much for progress.
“I also told them where I was calling from,” he said.
↵Competing in the same region as his predecessor Calipari has to necessitate some extreme measures to land quality talent, but this might stray just a little over the boundary line of good taste. (Not to be outdone, Bruce Pearl will live-tweet his colonoscopy later this week for prospective players.)
