[B-Greek] "proper" pronunciation?

I listened to an mp3 audio seminar by Charles Vanderpool on correct  
pronunciation of koine Greek

http://apostolicbible.com/

His were quite a bit different than what I learned in college NT  
Greek 1 and what I hear theologians speak. For example, his  
pronunciation of the upsilon sound is a long ee, as is the dipthhong  
OI. His premise is that koine Greek correctly pronounced is identical  
to modern day spoken Greek.

Is there a consensus on this? Or is it simply impossible to ascertain?

Thanks,
