Technical Tidbits 12/9: Assistant coach salaries and Saban’s chopper

Josh Pastner got the first big win of his Georgia Tech career on Wednesday night, defeating the VCU Rams in overtime by a final score of 76-73. There were quite a few turnovers from both sides — a total of 39 for the game — but the Jackets were ultimately able to exorcise their offensive demons and hang 76 on a very talented VCU team. We saw something in that game that Brian Gregory simply never showed us with any consistency: a bounce-back win against a very good team on the road. Winning in Richmond is just not something you do against VCU, certainly not under Shaka Smart and even less so under Will Wade, the former Chattanooga head coach who owned a 20-2 home record with the Rams until last night.
