***This is the first 10 minutes of The Power of Positive Pastner, full episode available in link at the bottom of this description***

Josh Pastner, 47, is the head coach at UNLV, where he's about to begin his first season leading the Runnin' Rebels. A basketball lifer who knew he'd be a coach even in childhood, Pastner's first head role came at Memphis, where he spent seven seasons from 2009-2016. He later led Georgia Tech for another seven seasons before spending the last two years as a broadcaster.

Pastner joined the show from his office in Las Vegas for a wide-ranging conversation that touched on a number of topics, including the stoic brilliance of Lute Olson, the preposterous challenge of taking over at Memphis in the aftermath of John Calipari's departure, and what being away from the game taught him about both basketball and himself.
