Villanova picked to win Big East as league eyes virus BIG EAST Jackets land 4-star guard Coleman By Ken Sugiura ken.sugiura@ajc.com Georgia Tech coach Josh Pastnerhas receivedperhaps thebiggestcommitmentofhis tenure, a four-star shooting guard from Callahan, Flor- ida, by the name of Dallan Coleman. In an announcement at his high school Wednesday that was streamed on social media, Coleman unzipped a black warmup jacket that revealed a navy Georgia Tech T-shirt. Pastner, entering his fifth season, has not had a signee rated higher than Coleman, whowields a soft touch from 3-point range and is listed at 6 feet 6 and 210 pounds. Coleman picked Tech over TexasTechandOleMiss.Flor- ida, Florida State and Louis- ville were among a number of schools that had offered him a scholarship. The scouting report onhis 247Sports page praises his shootingguard with a smooth and skilled game.

Not an overly explo- sive athlete, but can impose himself on the courtwith the combo of his strength, skill, basketball IQ and smooth Coleman is ranked theNo. 49 prospect in the 2021 class (247Sports Composite) and joins guard Miles Kelly, for- merly of Parkview High and now at Hargrave Military Academy in Virginia.

AJC EXCLUSIVE GEORGIA TECH BASKETBALL If an NCAA Tournament, Pastner and Tech have to be in it Here we are already, about to embark ten- tatively upon the fifth season of the Josh Past- ner basketball flume ride at Georgia Tech. Time flies. And demanding results, as well. Oh, the adventures had along the way.

In Year 1, there was a long visit to the NIT, the Stephen Baldwin of the postseason family. There came a caution- ary tale about the cost of toxic friendships. It went something like this, in brief: Pastner leaves the door open and in slinks an old acquaintance named Ron Bell, a fellow a lit- tle too eager to please, an NCAA uncontested layup. Bell and the coach fall out. Then Bell sets about try- ing to do to Pastner what Glenn Close did to that poor bunny in the movie And then there was one of the more fortuitous postseason tournament bans ever.

Sure, the NCAA banished Tech for its sins. But then the postseason was called on account of coronavirus. Tech miss a thing. It served its sentence while the entire rest of the world was under house arrest. And now this: summer they call me Coach, they called me the COVID secu- rity Pastner said Tuesday during some light media calisthenics with the start of the season less than a month away.

summer, through the summer access and fall, I rarely coached. I was spending more time mak- ing sure guys were enter- ing and exiting the facil- ity the right way. Making sure they loitering in the locker room, mean- ing they get a shower and leave. Making sure things were cleaned. I did less coaching than ever done in the history of my life this summer and in the fall.

I was spending time making sure no one crossed paths, things were clean, getting guys out of the locker The coach even insti- tuted his own COVID-19 version of a sudsy shot clock. our workout was done, go in and tell them, did you wash your hands for 20 seconds with soap and he said. More serious basket- ball-related activities have begun at Zelnak Center with a scheduled season opener against Georgia State looming (Nov. 25). Although the coach is really nervous about letting his play- ers get too close to one another, which can be a big problem when practic- ing the pick-and-roll and boxing out.

There are no Zoom conferences for the loose-ball scramble drill. (coronavirus-in- fected) guy can just shut you Pastner said. Against this backdrop of trepidation and uncer- tainty, Pastner enters a real bookmark season for him. The five-year mark provides a scenic overlook on the progress of the coach and his program. Certain promises were made that Tech would see dramatic improvement five years in, and none of assurances came with the asterisk of coro- navirus.

Pastner really likes this team, as tell any gath- ering of two or more. As well he should. Return- ing is the core of last sea- bunch that won six of its final seven games and became the first Tech team to finish over .500 in the ACC since 2004. Behind Michael Devoe and Jose Alvarado, the Yel- low Jackets are an experi- enced guard-driven team in a guard-driven game. Five of top six scor- ers are back for another shot.

This cake already is more than half-baked. So, you figure the wealth of experience should count for something even more in a season that will lack the developmental steps of full, unfettered prac- tice as well as exhibition games. The conference schedule even been put in place yet, casting more shadows of uncer- tainty upon the season. The prospect of whole teams being disabled by the virus for weeks at a time is tangible, real. we get to 27 games scheduled allot- ment)? Even playing 27 games would be one remarkable accomplish- ment this Pastner said.

As difficult as it may be to attach expectations to a season greased with so many issues, it is nonethe- less put-up time for Past- ner. Tech has stuck with him through the tough, transitional seasons and through the Ron Bell embarrassment. The time for reward has come. The measure of this sea- son is obvious, even if nothing else about 2020- 21 is. If there is an NCAA Tournament, Tech simply has to be in it.

As an accommodation to uncommon times, ACC coaches unanimously floated the uncommon idea of all 346 Division I teams making the next tournament. But that was torpedoed by the NCAA at-large. Tech will have to earn an invitation the usual way. next step for us as a team and a program, we want to get to the NCAA Tournament. That is the objective.

I think good enough to do Pastner said. say that today. There are a lot of things that have to go Such as, he said, avoid- ing a microscopic threat. not able to over- come it if half our team is out with COVID and missing two weeks of As legitimate as some of the hedges and qualifiers on this fifth season may be for Pastner, nobody wants to contemplate them right now.
