ATLANTA -- Josh Pastner has never been part of a losing season. Not as a player. Not as an assistant coach. Not as a head coach.He knows, in all likelihood, thats going to change.The former Memphis coach opened practice Monday with his new team, leading a Georgia Tech program that hasnt made the NCAA tournament since 2010 and lost nearly all of its scoring punch from Brian Gregorys final season.Pastner bluntly assessed the challenge he faces in his first year with the Yellow Jackets.Its a startup company. Theyve hit the reset button, Pastner said. Basically, start from ground zero and try to build it back up, and knowing that its going to take some time to do that. They didnt make that decision saying weve got to try to win right now, that its make or break this year. Its like, `Hey, were just kind of completely blowing it up and starting over.With his job on the line, Gregory went all in with a team built around seniors and graduate transfers. It didnt work; Gregory was fired after the Yellow Jackets only managed to qualify for the NIT.The 39-year-old Pastner was lured away from Memphis, where he was under a bit of heat after missing the NCAA tournament the last two seasons. He takes over a depleted roster that lost five players who combined to average 55.8 points and 25.6 rebounds per game last season.Georgia Techs top returning scorer is senior Quinton Stephens, who averaged 6.0 points a game. The squad is filled out by three freshmen, a redshirt freshman, a sophomore who redshirted last season and two graduate transfers.We shouldnt be judged on wins and losses, Pastner said. I think whats got to be looked at: Do we get better from day one to the last day? There might be some days when you just cant look at the scoreboard.The players realize what theyre up against.Its kind of like you have nothing to lose. Might as well go out there and give it your all, said junior center Ben Lammers, who will certainly be expected to improve on his averages (1.2 points, 1.5 rebounds) from last season. Theres no pressure on us. Obviously, well have a big chip on our shoulder going into most of our games. Well use that to our advantage, definitely.The Yellow Jackets have only two players who started at least 10 games last season: senior guard Josh Heath and senior forward Quinton Stephens. The new coaching staff is counting on them to help the tone that others will follow in the seasons to come, an important steppingstone even though they are unlikely to reap the benefits.My role will be to lead the team and really bring a fire to Georgia Tech. Were building a culture here, really establishing that culture, Stephens said. Weve already got some commits (for next season) and theyre going to be able to bring something to the table. I just want to build that standard, and it can only grow from there.Pastner is a top-notch recruiter, and he knows thats the only way to build a consistent winning program at Georgia Tech.Weve got to get a couple of studs to change the complexion, he said. The great thing in basketball is you only need two or three studs.Like so many others, he sees Georgia Tech as having all the elements needed to be a consistent national contender. There are state-of-the-art facilities, its location in the heart of a major urban area, and plenty of tradition and weight that comes with being a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference.For some reason, the Yellow Jackets havent been able to take advantage.People bring that up. Theyre like, `Man, you should be able to build a national powerhouse there, Pastner said. Theres great potential here. But potential is a scary word, too. And hope doesnt win you games, either. But were doing everything we can. Its just going to take a little time.---Follow Paul Newberry on Twitter at www.twitter.com/pnewberry1963 .

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- Stephanie White picked a tough place -- even though it was familiar territory -- to have her first road game as head coach at Vanderbilt.Traveling to Bloomington, Ind., the Commodores suffered a 94-61 loss to the No. 23 Hoosiers on Sunday afternoon. It was the 17th consecutive home win for the Hoosiers, who went 15-0 at Assembly Hall last season.Indianas Alexis Gassion scored a team-high 22 points and Amanda Cahill added 17 for the Hoosiers (2-0). For Vanderbilt (1-1), Rachel Bell had 11 points and Marques Webb had nine before fouling out.White, the first-year Vanderbilt head coach, had a big gathering of friends, family and fans at the game. She came to Vanderbilt after spending the past six seasons with the WNBAs Indiana Fever, including the past two as head coach. She also was a fan favorite in Indiana during her playing career, when she was Miss Indiana Basketball as a high school player and was the national player of the year during her career at Purdue.But Sundays homecoming didnt go as well as White had hoped for her young Commodores, who have five freshmen that are seeing significant playing time. Vanderbilt shot just 36 percent from the floor, and never owned the lead in the game.We didnt play very relaxed basketball today, said White. Indiana is a very good team, and they played exceptionally well inn the second half.dddddddddddd But have to do a better job of playing our game, and not letting the opponent dictate the game.With Webb and Bell providing the bulk of the scoring punch, the Commodores stayed within striking distance for much of the first half, and trailed only 35-31 after a bucket by Webb with 4:40 to play in the second quarter.Then Indiana made its move.The Hoosiers put together a quick 13-4 run -- which featured a 3-point play by Gassion and a three-pointer by Cahill -- to extend the lead to 48-35, and the Hoosiers carried a 50-38 lead into the locker room.Indiana then opened the second half with a 12-0 surge, fueled by three 3-pointers, to take command, 62-38. Overall, it was a 27-7 run by the Hoosiers.Four Indiana players finished in double figures, as the Hoosiers shot 52 percent from the floor. Vanderbilt went 4-of-15 from 3-point range.Indiana built a 28-15 early in the second quarter after closing the first quarter with a 7-0 run and then scoring the first five points of the second. The surge was highlighted by a buzzer-beating 3-pointer by Tia Elbert, who banked in a shot from about 25 feet.NOTE: The Hoosiers head coach Teri Moren was Whites AAU coach when White was a teenager.
