Josh Pastner and a COVID ball.
Josh Pastner is in his fifth year as head coach of the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets men s basketball team. In the middle of his third season, a tradition was born when the team was stuck waiting for a plane after a win at Syracuse - they went to a gas station. Now whenever they win on the road they celebrate by going to a gas station to get a bunch of snacks. With the pandemic, they can t do that, so after they beat Nebraska in Lincoln on Wednesday night, the Jackets coaching staff had to improvise.
