Early and personal life

Pasternack was born in Metairie, Louisiana, grew up in New Orleans, Louisiana, and is Jewish.[1][2][3] His parents are Joe Jr. and Sarah Pasternack.[4] He attended Sunday school at a Reform synagogue in New Orleans, and became a bar mitzvah.[2]

He and his wife, Lindsay (née Bernstein), have a son Joe IV and a daughter Lilly.[1][5] His wife served on the board of directors of the Tucson Jewish Community Center.[2] Her brother Roxy Bernstein is a college basketball play-by-play announcer for ESPN.[6]

Education

Pasternack attended Metairie Park Country Day School in Metairie, Louisiana,[7][4]

He attended Indiana University Bloomington, where he spent four years as a student manager for the Hoosiers men's basketball team under head coach Bob Knight. He graduated in 1999 with a B.S. in Marketing.[1][8]

Coaching career

Pasternack's first professional coaching position was at the University of California, Berkeley, where from 2000 until 2007 he worked in administrative roles and later served as assistant coach of the Golden Bears under head coach Ben Braun.[7]

Pasternack next served for four years (2007–11) as the head coach of the University of New Orleans Privateers basketball team, a position he took in July 2007 after the resignation of Buzz Williams.[9] He became the 11th head coach in UNO history.[10] He earned a record of 54–60 (.474) while there. At the beginning of his second season at UNO, the University determined that Division 1 was not going to be economically feasible after Hurricane Katrina, and the university allowed its players to transfer as it planned to transition out of Division 1. His 2010-11 team went 16-6, topping the standings among Division I Independent institutions.[11] Pasternack remained to fulfill his four-year contract, and then departed for an assistant position at Arizona.[12]

The University of Arizona hired Pasternack, initially for $190,000, on May 19, 2011, after Archie Miller, brother of Arizona Head Coach Sean Miller, left the Wildcats to become head coach at Dayton.[13][5] In June 2013 Pasternack was promoted to the position of Associate Head Coach.[14][15] In his final season with the school, he earned $302,000.[16] In his six seasons with the team, it recorded a 174-47 record.[15]

On March 31, 2017, Pasternack, who was 39 years old at the time, was hired as the new Men's Head Basketball Coach for the UC Santa Barbara Gauchos.[17] He became the third head coach of the team in 34 years.[18]

For the 2020–21 season, Pasternack's Gauchos won the Big West regular season title and he was named conference coach of the year.[19]
