Alvarado and Wright, though undrafted following their senior seasons, wound up on NBA rosters in the 2021-22 season. Okogie, in particular, developed from an under-the-radar high school prospect into a highly-regarded NBA prospect, having played three years in the league, while Lammers and Banks have gone on to play professionally overseas. Wright was named the ACC Player of the Year, Tech’s first since 1990, and Alvarado the ACC’s Defensive Player of the Year in the 2020-21 season. Six of his players – guards Josh Okogie, Jose Alvarado and Michael Devoe, as well as frontcourt players Ben Lammers, James Banks III and Moses Wright – have earned ACC honors during his tenure. The result has been numerous wins, high excitement and 13 sellouts in four pre-pandemic seasons at McCamish Pavilion, and a school-record 11 consecutive home ACC wins over the 2019-21 seasons.
Pastner has tirelessly promoted the program on campus and throughout the city of Atlanta in an effort to re-create the major homecourt atmosphere that surrounded the Yellow Jackets throughout the 1980s, 1990s and into the middle of the 2000s. Those efforts, as well as improving efforts in recruiting, produced Georgia Tech’s first ACC Championship since 1993 and its first berth in the NCAA Tournament in 11 years in the 2020-21 season. Implementing a high-energy style of play and creative offensive and defensive schemes, and building the Jackets’ talent base for the future, Pastner has established the Yellow Jackets as one of the top defensive teams in the nation year-in and year-out, while he and his staff have steadily improved the team’s offense to be ranked in the top half of the ACC. After guiding Memphis to five post-season berths in seven seasons as the Tigers’ head coach, Josh Pastner became Georgia Tech’s 14th head basketball coach on Apand within a five-year period, returned the Yellow Jackets to the NCAA Tournament and guided the program to its first Atlantic Coast Conference championship in 28 years in his fifth season on the Flats.
