ESPN continued its “Chasing Ghosts” series with the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. Tech’s legendary coach Bobby Cremins has remained an iconic figure in the basketball program’s rich history. Easily, he can be considered one of the best coaches of the program.
Since his departure in 2000, the Yellow Jackets have had three coaches, including current coach Josh Pastner (2016-present). ESPN ranked Pastner third among the Tech basketball coaches who have tried to step outside of the shadow of Cremins’ legacy.
Ranked second was Brian Gregory. With zero NCAA appearances between Pastner and Gregory in their combined eight years at the helm of Tech’s program, it’s understandable that they wouldn’t make the top spot.
