per the AJC:
Pastner allowed the AJC to accompany him as he drove around Las Vegas to watch parts of 16 games in five different gyms (visiting some more than once), all the while operating on an empty stomach, in an effort to put together the 2018 signing class.
Pastner arrived to his first game around 8:30 a.m. at Spring Valley High to check on a prospect. As he walked in, an AAU coach greeted him warmly, then asked if he’d put on weight.
“I work out every day,” Pastner said, perhaps both amused and discouraged, after the coach had passed by.
Tech assistant coach Tavaras Hardy was already there, and the two were off to the next gym in less than 15 minutes, sharing their evaluations as they walked out to their rental cars. Part of the objective of attending AAU tournaments is evaluating. With prospects who have already been offered a scholarship, a much bigger part is being seen by prospects and their coaches to show interest.
On his way to the next gym, five miles away at Clark High, Pastner nearly rear ended a truck. Let's just say that Pastner could stand to pay closer attention to the road. On this day, he also used his drives between gyms to make calls and flip through the spiral-bound rosters of teams provided by the tournaments. Pastner joked that his wife Kerri gives him a hard time about his driving, and it is not hard to side with Mrs. Pastner.
Pastner walked into the next gym with Texas coach Shaka Smart, greeting one another as they made their way through the door.
“Yeah, you know – same old, same old,” Pastner informed Smart.
