Mark, You are to be commended for calling Hewitt to task for his failure to coach top talent and noting Fox’s good work thus far at UGA. However, your assertion that only Trey Tompkins would crack Tech’s 10-man rotation – whatever that means as Hewitt rarely plays ten players in any game – seems off-base. Travis Leslie remains a bit raw skillwise, but he’s a real force on both ends of the floor with his athleticism and hustle. In his 2nd year he’s averaging 13-6 and to date has saved his best games for the best on the schedule (Tech 12-4, Mizzou 18-5, Illinois 17-3, St. John’s 14-5 and VPI 17-7).

• Link
• Report this comment

Mark, you’re normally not prone to hyperbole, but your statement that Thompkins is the only guy who be in Tech’s 10 man rotation is a little bit over the top. While GT is clearly much more talented than UGA, I think Leslie would definitely be in Tech’s rotation, and Price probably would be as well.

Not sure all that Tech has complimentary talent. Lawal and Favors may have a tough time sharing the block. “Young on the Perimeter” means that distributing the ball and three point shooting will be erratic. Tech is young and talented and that may be, at times, a curse!

I am sick of hearing Mark and all he other AJC apologists continally making backhanded comments about Ga basketball when in fact we haven’t lost to Tech in Athens since 1974. And in the past 12 games we are 7-5 against them. We average almost as many fans at home games as Tech and that is without haveing a winning program lately. When we had Tubby and Harrick we filled the place. So quit saying we can’t draw.

As for poor Tech and Derrick Favors and the boys I said when they signed with Tech and say it again. They still have Paul Hewitt coaching so they won’t win or develop. Bet they are having second thoughts. When will these Ga basketball phenoms come on to Athens, get good coaching and help build a real winning program. My guess is it won’t be long with Mark Fox there.

Travis Leslie played a whale of the game for Georgia as well.

Ricky McPhee may not be the biggest or the most talented, but he’s usually the pluckiest player on the floor. I don’t know if he’d make the Tech squad, but he’s the type of player every program needs: a rock steady, court savvy, gutsy player.

I haven’t seen much of Tech (or Derrick Favors as I represent the redneck quadrant of the state), but Favors didn’t appear to have much floor awareness. He’s a beast, but unless he can develop a feel for the game, he’s just a slightly more athletic Albert Jackson.

Continues to have the same problem. Not enough shots. Let the players shoot. It takes at least 70 quality shots per game to consistently win. The 60 the team is averaging won’t cut it. It requires the
the defense to hold the opposition to under 40% shooting from the field, and the offense to make less than 5 turnovers. Lets get away from the perfection BS, up the pace, and get a little more offensive.

Mark, please keep writing about the lack of coaching on this team. I have suffered enough. To sit through another season of a roster full of “Rivals Top 100″ players playing like Georgia Southern (no offense, you guys would probablay beat this heap) is embarrassing. It feels a lot like UGA must feel with their football top 5 recruiting classes every year, only to get punked most of the time by teams they can beat every year. The only difference is that Tech’s goofy coach seems to continually lose to his “arch rival” with regularity, whereas the same doesn’t happen on the football field. Enjoy it, UGA, you deserve it. Until our “superior athletes” beat yours, pile on…

Paul Hewitt is now 4-6 vs. UGA. Paul Hewitt is a bad coach and would have been fired years ago at UGA. At GA tek, they try to cover up his NCAA PROBATION and NCAA limiting him to just 11 Scholarships.

56-50 Women’s Basketball UGA Lady Bulldogs also have a far higher Academic Progress Rate than the GA tek women’s basketball team. Also, UGA Lady Bulldogs have NEVER lost to GA tek in Athens in women’s basketball. The GA tek coach, after last year refusing to shake Andy Landers’ hand after he beat the crap out of her team, this year did. It resonated throughout the college sports what a horrible POOR SPORT MaChelle Joseph is as GA tek’s women’s basketball coach. The score this year was 56-50. The better coach ? Without any doubt Coach Andy Landers.

30-24 Forcing Paul Johnson to scrap his high school offense, GA tek Heisman hopeful Josh Nesbitt threw 4 incomplete passes as wounded ducks to end the game. It was a devastating loss, leaving Paul Johnson to tell the GA tek fans (both of them) to hit UGA fans in the face. This is a POOR SPORT. This, while, Coach Richt beat GA tek for the 8th time in 9 years of 90-27 football including 2 BCS Bowl Championship Game WINS. GA tek has not won a Major Bowl Game since 1955, a span now in excess of 55 years. It also marked the 60th defeat of GA tek football and coupled with their bowl loss to bring Paul Johnson to 0-2 in bowl games, while Coach Richt is 7-2, it is a bitter pill to swallow for a football team at GA tek under Paul Johnson who has a far worse Academic Progress Rate APR than Coach Richt’s football team’s APR. The better coach ? By far Coach Richt.

It has been a BAD YEAR for GA Tek. A complete clean sweep. In all major sports UGA has far exceeded the Academic Progress Rate of GA tek. And, oh yeah, while we are on the topic, we have BEAT GA tek for this year :

73-66 men’s basketball UGA wins over GA tek.

56-50 women’s basketball UGA wins over GA tek

30-24 football UGA wins over GA tek.

A day to go down in Infamy for GA tek. It could not have happened to a worse group of losers, thugs, college drop-outs and POOR SPORTS. Congratulations GA tek, a clean sweep, in every possible fashion.

Seriously GA fans, don’t put too much into this win over GT tonight. Paul Hewitt is a bad coach. The guy is something like 38 games UNDER .500 in ACC play over his GT coaching tenure. He’s had WAY too much talent to do that. It’s pure & simple about his coaching/leadership ability with this talent, and he hasn’t got squat.

Yeah, be happy that you beat your some guys wearing GT uniforms, but seriously, check back at the end of the season and see how bad this Paul Hewitt led team is. This win tonight won’t be that impressive. These kids are wasting their time coming to GT to be coached by this clown.

I wasn’t so sure about the BB coach hire of Coach Fox, but now I wonder what he would do if he had a REAL team? The former BB coach was big on discipline, which is admirable, but AFTER the fact. Fox is more into preemptive discipline. He must also be a good coach. If he is ever able to recruit it should be fun in the fall AND winter in Athens.

You know, I used to pull for Tech unless they played UGA. But after all the obnoxious fans that have came out of the wood work since CPJ has at least restored some respect to the program, my second favorite team is who ever plays Tech. This guy who posted above about UGA fans all being in trailers or driving pick ups should be ashamed. There are millions of people who live in trailers and drive pick ups that have more class and common sense than the Tech fans who post here.

Mr. Bradley,

I didn’t read your article about Mark Fox being a bad hire, as a UGA grad and fan living in Reno, NV it’s a little difficult to keep up with the latest UGA news without constantly gluing myself to the computer. I am curious though as to how much you really researched Coach Fox to come to that conclusion?

Living in Reno for the past few years amongst the Wolfpack fans I got to know quite a bit about Coach Fox. He is a great coach and at UNR he consistently got the most out of players that didn’t exactly have big time program talent. He was able to pull some great recruits to UNR (by UNR standards of course) while he was there and I believe got them to a few tourney appearances and a sweet 16 appearance. Definitely known for being a very strict disciplinarian and the kind of guy that favors the team concept and doesn’t tolerate a bunch of individualistic garbage either.

All I know is that UNR fans were furious to lose him. When I’m out and about in the city wearing any of my UGA stuff I still get dirty looks. My wife’s boss who is a UNR grad was angry with my wife for weeks after the hire because he knows I’m a UGA grad…as if it was me that called up my buddies Michael and Damon and said “hey, I’m a random alumni and you ought to take a look at this Mark Fox guy out here in Reno” .

I think he’s a great hire for UGA. Do I think he’ll get them to being a consistent tournament bound contender…I really don’t know, I guess time will tell but I do think Coach Fox will improve the program overall and make it a lot better than it’s been in a while.

Just a thought. Why do I keep hearing UGA gets all these 4-5 star athletes in football and can’t produce on the field. Looks like Tech gets all these 4-5 star athletes in basketball with the same result on the court. Shouldn’t the standards be the same if the supposed results are the same? Just a thought.

Hey Bradley,

I have to apologize to you about the UGA fans who think you’re putting us down! They probably haven’t been following you on the whole “Paul Hewitt can’t do it” thing okay? But, even you have to admit it’s a great day for a UGA follower when Tech loses a bowl game in which they were favored and also lose a basketball game to an under-manned UGA team with a new coach even though they were heavily favored there too! I would love to hear some of the conversations going on on the Tech campus today.

Guys I’m having a nervous breakdown. In the same night we lose the Orange Bowl to Iowa (((24-14))) and lose to Georgia in basketball (((73-66)))).

Georgia won their last two games while we managed to lose 2 out of 3.

My fellow Tech fans, it’s becoming increasingly clear UGA owns us as we’ve lost 8 out of the last 9 games and 5 in a row at Bobby Dodd stadium to the mighty Bulldogs. It should also be clear to us that Paul Hewitt is going to be schooled by Mark Fox for years to come. I’m also getting worried about our High School offense. It seems to me that every time we run up against a fairly good defense we get shut down. We’ve become too one dimensional! The option may work for the service academies, but it isn’t going to cut in the big leagues.

In short we suck!!!

We, TECH fans, would love nothing more than for EVERY UGA basketball fan in the state came on this board and blasted TECH and Hewitt to smithereens!

As much as you Bulldog fans think you may hate Tech basketball – we, TECH fans, hate Hewitt more than you could possible know.

So, please flame on Bulldog fans. We welcome it as TECH fans. Anything that could contribute to Hewitt’s firing is welcomed.

P.S. If you were smart you would “compliment” Tech’s efforts and their coach (in total jest) – this way you can continue to beat us. But, of course, you would have to be “smart” to do that.

I thought Fox would do well once he started getting his roster upgraded and he hasn’t done anything to make me think otherwise. Could UGA basketball be on its way back to being somewhat relevant? I sure hope so.

Tech needs to stop recriting blue chippers. They have one thing in mind…the NBA. Basketball is a team sport. Coach Hewitt cannot make the individual blue chip players play as a team. They have money on their minds not academics or the fickled Tech fans. Maybe its better to recruit white players from more affluent homes as was done in the old days.Duke does it well. That would eliminate the racial issue. Unfortunately, it will not win conference championships or NCAA tournaments.IT IS WHAT IT IS.

Mark, I kind of figured you’d take the “this is what Tech did wrong” angle instead of saying that Georgia just outplayed and outhustled Tech from the beginning to the end. Here were a few of my observations from the game last night:
(1) Dustin Ware was the best player on the court last night. He played all but two minutes and controlled the tempo and handled the ball almost exclusively against the Tech pressure. He also hit two huge 3-pointers, including the one after Tech momentarily went up by three points. He showed the importance of good “in charge” guard play.
(2) I was blown away by Derrick Favors’ lackadaisical attitude. The only time he showed any emotion was when one of his four foul calls went against him. He was not assertive at all, and he seemed to slump around throughout the game.
(3) Travis Leslie brings the type of hustle that makes a difference in these close games. I’m glad he’s at Georgia and not at Tech or anywhere else.
(4) Trey Thompkins made big plays when it counted, whereas Lawal and Favors were pretty invisible. If he takes on more of that “I’m the guy” attitude at crunch time, that will be a key for the Dawgs.
(5) McPhee is the best shooter since that 66-year-old guy who sank 42 of 50 3-pointers at halftime of the Pepperdine game!
(6) If the Bulldogs can keep Thompkins, Ware and Leslie around until they’re seniors, and add some pieces around them, we could end up being pretty good.

Go Dawgs!
