It hasn’t been the best of seasons for Georgia Tech men’s basketball. The Yellow Jackets are 4–10 in the Atlantic Coast Conference and, after getting blown out at home against Virginia Tech on Saturday, they’ve now lost five in a row. Meanwhile, their head coach, Josh Pastner, is embroiled in a legal dispute that features lurid allegations of sexual assault, blackmail, smear campaigning, jilted fans and NCAA rule violations.
Last month, Pastner filed a complaint in a Pima County, Ariz., superior court against Ronald Bell and Jennifer Pendley. At its core, the complaint charges that Bell and Pendley unlawfully exploited Pastner’s kindness and generosity.
