In May this year The SID (Sports Information Director) for the University of Memphis recommended ESPN.com to contact me for photos of our new Basketball Coach - Josh Pastner. ESPN.com sent Dana O'Nell to Memphis for two days to interview Coach Pastner. They asked me to accompany her and take photos for the web publication. What an honor.
We met early at WMC Channel 5 for a morning television interview. This was his first TV interview since taking the position as head coach at Memphis. We had breakfast together and spent the rest of the morning in Coach Pastner's office. Coach interviewed a few people for trainers and was constantly on the phone with recruits and potential assistant coaches. Later in the evening we went to Coach's first meet and greet with the U of M Alumni Association at the Hyatt.
This was a fantastic opportunity and allowed me to see the real Coach Pastner. As a person, you can't find anyone more honest and dedicated.
Rather than trying to describe the interview, read Dana's story. She does a great job presenting Coach Pastner.
On a side note, they liked my photos so much at ESPN that they included a slideshow within the article.
Enjoy and let me know what you think
