ACC Preview # 7 - Georgia Tech

Georgia Tech announced a three-year extension for coach Josh Pastner on Wednesday and after last year, it’s hard to argue.

Pastner built his ACC championship team around big man Moses Wright and point guard Jose Alvarado and that fact deserves some perspective and praise.

It’s not like Alvarado was a nobody. He was a promising high school player and we thought he’d do well, but we’re not sure anyone expected the kind of relentless brilliance we saw last season. Alvarado became a superb leader and defender. Any coach would have been thrilled to have him.

As for Wright, he came out of Raleigh and only played one season for Enloe, his senior year, being home schooled prior to that.
