Timeline
Joshua Paul Pastner (born September 26, 1977) is an American college basketball coach, and the former head coach of the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets and the Memphis Tigers.
Pastner was a player on the 1997 Arizona Wildcats men's basketball national championship team, and an assistant coach at the University of Arizona under Lute Olson and at the University of Memphis under John Calipari.
Pastner attended the University of Arizona, and was a walk-on freshman on its 1997 NCAA championship basketball team.
Pastner finished his degree in only two and a half years, taking as many as 33 units per semester.
He earned his bachelor's degree in Family Studies from Arizona in December 1998.
His younger sister, Courtney, played guard in basketball for Kingwood High School, leading the All-Greater Houston Area in scoring her senior season with 23.2 points per game, and was named the 1999 All-Greater Houston Player of the Year, and the 1999 Gatorade "Circle of Champions" Texas High School Player of the Year, the 1999 Texas Girls Coaches Association Player of the Year (TGCA).
He grew up in the Kingwood master-planned community
Pastner is Jewish, and attended Friday night services regularly when he was a college student.
To keep connected with Judaism, he carries a copy of Rabbi Abraham J. Twerski’s Growing Each Day with him and reads it on the road, saying: "It keeps you grounded. Obviously, if you could live in a constant state of prayer, it would be awesome, but it’s way easier said than done. It gives you life lessons. I travel a lot, so it gives me a chance to read and make sure I don’t lose my values."
Pastner knew he wanted to be a coach since he was in the 5th grade.
By the age of 13 he was publishing the Josh Pastner Scouting Report of local high school talent in the Houston area.
At the age of 16, the Houston Hoops AAU summer squad was turned over to Pastner by his father, his first job as a head coach.
He finished his master's degree in Teaching and Teacher Education in December 1999, and then began work on his doctorate and started his coaching career in 2000 as a graduate-assistant under Lute Olson at Arizona.
He was named Academic All-Pac-10 second team as a senior in 2000.
He played for the Wildcats for four years under Olson.
Pastner served as an assistant coach under Lute Olson and Kevin O'Neill at the University of Arizona from 2002 to 2008.
Prior to Olson's retirement, Pastner left the University of Arizona to serve as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at the University of Memphis during the 2008-09 season for John Calipari.
Pastner earned a reputation as a tireless recruiter during his years as an assistant coach.
He married Kerri (née Lamas) in 2009, and has a stepson, Ethan, three daughters, Payten, Kamryn, Harper, and one son, Cason and one sister, Courtney, and one brother, Austin.
On April 6, 2009, at 31 years of age, Pastner was selected to be head coach of the University of Memphis Tigers basketball team, succeeding John Calipari.
Pastner's first contract with Memphis was for $4.4 million over five years.
Pastner was named Sporting News Conference USA (C-USA) Coach of the Year for the 2009–10 season.
Pastner's recruits from the 2010 high school class were ranked as one of the best recruiting classes in the nation.
After a 2010-11 season that included a Conference USA tournament championship and appearance in the 2011 NCAA tournament, Pastner signed a 5-year, $1.7 million (annually) contract extension with the Tigers.
He was tied for the 10th-most wins for a head coach in his first seven seasons in NCAA Division I basketball history, and had the second-most victories of any active coach under the age of 40 in Division I.
He was named the 2013 Sporting News Conference USA Coach of the Year, and the 2017 Atlantic Coast Conference Men's Basketball Coach of the Year.

On the heels of his first NCAA victory and the signing of a top-five recruiting class for 2013, Pastner's contract was extended through 2019–20 and his pay raised to $2.65 million per year.
He sometimes neglected his family to devote more time to recruiting.
He said: "I was like I love my wife and children, but for the short-term That Kid could help me beat Louisville. And my wife and daughter couldn’t. She understood. And so, we got that recruit."
The 2013–14 Tigers entered the season ranked #13 in the country, though the team ultimately earned an 8-seed in the NCAA tournament and lost by 18 points in the Round of 32 to Virginia.
The 2014–15 Tigers did not make the NCAA or NIT tournament, the first time in 15 years that the Tigers had missed the postseason.
