If Hewitt leaves, would Tubby coach Tech? UPDATED!
Update: Apparently it’s a moot point now: ESPN and the New York Daily News are reporting that Paul Hewitt has turned down St. John’s and is staying at Georgia Tech.
We don’t yet know what Paul Hewitt will decide regarding St. John’s, but the inevitable speculation has begun: If Hewitt leaves, then Tubby Smith must be the first choice to replace him — mustn’t he?
Two things to note about Tubby Smith: First, that of all the college basketball coaches I’ve known, he’s my favorite; second, that of all the Tubby rumors since he left Georgia for Kentucky in 1997, not one has been accurate. And there have been a bunch.
Tubby to Auburn this year. (Obviously didn’t happen, given that the Tigers just hired Tony Barbee from UTEP.) Tubby back to Georgia last year. Tubby to South Carolina a while back. (Almost happened but didn’t.) Tubby to the Atlanta Hawks on at least three different occasions. (Never got close.) Tubby to the Charlotte Bobcats. Tubby to Michigan in 2007.
Back to that last one: Tubby finally did leave Kentucky in 2007, but it wasn’t for Michigan. It was for Minnesota, and here, as I understand it, is the way that happened: Smith got so fed up with the lack of support from AD Mitch Barnhart that he called his agent and said, “See what’s out there.” The Gophers didn’t pursue Tubby. He pursued them. It happened so fast that there wasn’t even a Tubby-to-Minny rumor.
Speculation has long held that Tubby won’t stay in Minneapolis because it’s cold up there. Two things more: The man is 58, and he’s not apt to want to start over many more times before he retires, and I have it on good authority he can afford a house with central heating.
I don’t see him coming to Tech if the job comes open — and let me stress: It might not – and I can’t see the Jackets pursuing him if it does. He’s a a fine man and a great coach, but he is, as noted, 58. I would guess Dan Radakovich would prefer a younger man. Just my guess, you understand.

Tubby Smith
For the past month, I’ve been waiting for Georgia Tech coach Paul Hewitt’s name to be linked to another head coaching position.
It finally happened Tuesday, when reports surfaced that Georgia Tech athletics director Dan Radakovich had given St. John’s permission to talk to Hewitt for its vacant coaching job.
Why should that matter in Minnesota? Because Georgia Tech is the one potential coaching opening that should most worry Gophers basketball fans, the one that could lure away Tubby Smith.
The Yellow Jackets are more of a threat than any of the schools rumored to be interested in Smith this year, such as Oregon and Auburn — and even Virginia and Arizona last year.
A person close to Smith told me about a month ago that Georgia Tech “would be an intriguing job” for Smith if it were to open up this year. The person said Smith didn’t want to rebuild another program, which is why Oregon and Auburn don’t make sense for him…

Mike Anderson is 51, which is a bit younger. Any chance Tech could lure him away from Missouri? I know Georgia failed, but the ACC might tip the scales. He would be expensive, but I think he would win big at Tech. He is from Birmingham and may want to get back south with the right opportunity, which was not the one in Athens.

One other point is that it will be a cold day in hell before Tech hires anyone associated with the program at the so called “state university” located east of Atlanta, That is unless he passes the “how bad do you hate them” pre-qualification test.

Hewitt should have given Mark Price a call to teach his players how to shoot free throws. Any coach who comes to Tech needs to realize the amount of talent and character (thank you Bobby C) that has come through this program and use it to keep advancing Tech in the national scene. They should use people like Price, John Salley, Dennis Scott, Matt Harpring, Kenny Anderson, and others, if not as coaches but as mentors. I know what you’re thinking, Kenny Anderson, a mentor? Kenny was a New York City legend and is still talked about on the playgrounds of NYC who brought Tech to its first ever Final Four. Didn’t we all think with Hewitt’s New York background that we’d have the chance to see more players like that at Tech? If I was a star in NYC and had Kenny Anderson telling me that Ga Tech and Atlanta are a great place to be, I’d put Tech on my list of schools to visit.

Tubby is too old. But you never know. I’m sure DRad has a list of candidates in his drawer (doesn’t every AD have such a list). I trust he will make the right hire, if needed.
Hewitt probably wants to go but is going to have to do his best recruiting ever to convince the wife and family to go back to NYC.
And one more aside, that is pretty small in the grand scheme of things but I know it rankles Tech grads every time, that is when a coach or anyone associated with Tech refers to the school as a University, as Hewitt did the other day. We are the Institute! Another strike against Hewitt with the masses, even though it is kind of petty.

This all comes down to the wives. Will Hewitt’s wife let him leave Atlanta since she likes it here, and will Tubby’s wife let him stay up there since she doesn’t like the cold. Women run the world.
Mike Anderson just signed a long term deal with Missouri, as did Jacobson with Northern Iowa. I don’t think either is leaving. I think Brad Stevens might be the hire.

Can someone help me understand Hewitt’s contract situation? There was a $7 mil buyout before, which I thought amounted to 5 years of salary. But the rollover/renewal occurred recently, so shouldn’t it now be $8.5 mil? I’m still seeing the same $7 mil figure in the press. If that’s true, what did the rollover do and why did that date matter?

GT in CT,
It went from 5 years to 6. If we were to fire him today, we would owe him approximately 8.4 million. That number slowly drops to 7 million over the next year, then jumps back up to 8.4 million if he is not notified by March 16th each year. Not a bad deal, huh?
Depending on what St. Johns/Hewitt pays GT for their buyout (up to 3.5M), GT may make as much as 12 million on this, plus get a better coach. Not a bad day’s work. Even if GT doesn’t get anything, we are out from under the contract.

I think Tubby is a great coach but I can’t see GT hiring him. They would need to pay over $2 MM in salary/benefits/etc and there is a $1 MM buyout in his contract.

GT has had great players from NYC (Salley, Anderson, Marbury) but I can’t think of any off-hand that CPH brought in.

Gordon is right but the total number is a little off. He has a perpetual 6 year deal and the 6 year total is $8.25M (6 x his max salary of $1.375M). Here is the actual contract if you are so inclined to read it in sordid detail.

Thirty, if Tech only has 800 basketball fans, does that means that UGAG only has 5? That’s about the ratio of attendance at Tech games to UGAG games, isn’t it? And you can trash Groh all you want, but he has already paid off at Tech in bringing in two last-minute recruits. He certainly can’t do any worse coaching defense than what we’ve had, and I think it will be a lot better. To those wanting Mark Price, get a life; he has NO COLLEGIATE HEAD COACHING EXPERIENCE AT ALL!!! Although I have never been a Tubby fan, I do know that he’s a good coach, and although on the one hand I don’t really want anybody with connections to UGAG, I would love the HATE that it would inspire in the mutts in knowing that they had let a good one get away, and that he had ended up at Tech. What a hoot that would be. Personally, I like Steve Alford, but that’s just my opinion.

Eman, “we had two really good recruiting coaches”? So why would you think we wouldn’t get another one? Nobody knew that Hewitt would recruit the kind of talent he has recruited when he came to Tech; he was hired because of his coaching at Sienna, and because of his (unrealized) NY connection. Coach K, despite how good he is, is not the be-all and end-all of college coaches, and he won’t be around that much longer. Duke will then be facing the same problem any other college faces in finding and hiring the best possible coach. Who’s to say that whomever Tech hires (IF Hewitt leaves) won’t be better than any of them in the long run? It’s pure ignorance to say that can’t happen.

The one thing Hewitt can do and the next crowd will need to continue is recruit. None of his players by the way came from NYC, don’t understand his rep there. On Hewitt his assistant coaches are so weak. Look at their resumes compared to almost any other school in the ACC or even Georgia. I can’t imagine what he was looking for in those resumes outside recruiting and once again most of the coaches come from the northeast which has no representation on the roster outside a very reserved center. Half of the assistants were not even head coaches in the high schools they coached. They were just strictly talent scouts for the AAU either in high school or college, I am guessing. But unlike a tennis team where you bring them in and line them up in an order, basketball players have to have some coaching. The pure fact that Tech is in Atlanta and the ACC will recruit well in itself. Hewitt was heard to say Tuesday that he didn’t hear the recruits or current players complaining about his coaching ability. Sitting in the lobby or the hotel during the ACC tournament listening to players talk to their parents I heard lots of complaining. Why wouldn’t they complain, does he really think they are putting the blame right or wrong on their backs. It means with all these losses they are not near as good as advertised. One or the other but not both.

Living in blue land brings a different perspective to basketball chat. Make no mistake, Tubby is a good coach but not a great coach. I see some of the same things happening in Minnesota that happened in his last 3 years at UK.
Tubby can win at Tech but he won’t win like folks think he will. UK helped Tubby a lot. He is a top 25 coach but I’m not sure it is the upgrade wanted by the techsters.
Bottom line: Tubby is a great person, a great father and role model but only a good coach. Kinda like our football coach……..

Eman, your naivete about what could or could not happen is pretty indicative of your ignorance. As far as your comparison to Miami, Miami actually probably did more with less than Tech did with more talent. Although Tech can probably not afford some of the coaches mentioned here, it’s for damn sure that virtually any coach in the country would kill to coach at an ACC school, and with the market in Atlanta, as well as the recruiting possibilities just in the state of Georgia, Tech would be an ideal job for just about any of them.

That is not the kind of players Hewitt has recruited and coached.

Price was the pioneer of putting GT basketball on the map. Mr. Free Throw in the ACC and NBA, not to mention a point guard like a ship captain who could navigate his way thru any storm. Price doesn’t have to take a back seat to anyone. Talk about rallying the true GT fan base, Mark Price is your man.

Bruce, I believe that from the start of the season, everybody in the country concluded that this was a down year for the ACC. To be honest, I am surprised that Duke is even in the Sweet 16; they’re certainly not as good as in past years. UNC was way down this year, but look for that to change soon. I honestly believe that if Tech had a coach, with the talent we had, Tech would have been there too. The Big East, which was supposedly the DOMINANT conference this year only has 2 left in the tournament.

Hiring Mark Price for head coach would be like hiring Bill Curry as head football coach in the 80s — great guy and loved by the Tech “family,” but he couldn’t coach his way out of a paper bag. Mark Price COULD be a great coach, but it’s been 20+ years since he played college ball, and he has never been a head coach anywhere. HE IS NOT THE MAN FOR THE JOB !!!

Just get them back in some capacity. I am also sick and tired of continuing hiring outsiders that have been around the block time after time. I know it, you know it and the American people know it, GT needs to go after their own. BTW, Mark Price was coached in high school by his father.

home grown, yes, magic happened when they were on the bench, but that was 25 years ago, and not one of them has coached college basketball since then. Plus, the game of college basketball, not to mention the “personality” of the players has changed tremendously over those 25 years. If you want a home-grown one, then at least go after somebody like Craig Neal, who HAS coached as an assistant. But I don’t see the need to go after home-grown’s anyway. You said, “if it doesn’t work, at least we tried it.” Tech, nor any other school, can afford to take that chance and waste that time.

The fact that the story continues suggests that there is a better than 50/50 chance that Hewitt leaves. The question then becomes, subject to availability, do we want a proven commodity or a promising coach from a mid major. The finance’s suggest the latter but remember that is what Hewitt was when he came here and his albeit brief record at Sienna was impressive. The only certainty is that there will be no automatic rollover contract. I think that played a major role in the resentment and disdain that many have toward Hewitt. I’d also be careful of getting another “player’s coach” since I think that was a major part of the lack of discipline seen in his teams. As for Mark Price, I’d love to see him on the staff but not as head coach, at least not yet. But I think that Price’s value would be much greater in teaching how to run the point vs. free throws are important but not as important as running the point effectively. If we could have run the point effectively this year we would not be having this conversation and would still be playing.

The only positive thing Hewitt supporters can point to during his tenure is recruiting. They say if Hewitt leaves big time talent won’t come to Tech. I beg to differ. How hard is it to sell a recruit on playing in the most presitgous conference in college basketball, playing on national TV, coming to school known for placing players in the NBA, and most importantly attending a school known for it’s academics? It’s not that hard to sell.

Now, now. I hate to advocate violence or riotous behavior of any kind. I hate to advocate it, but if that’s what it takes….hehehe. Just kidding, Evil Jacket took over my soul there for a minute.

OK, Jacket fans. It’s time to rally and for all of us to get behind Paul Hewitt now that he’s said he’s coming back despite our best wishes. Yessiree, let’s ALL get behind him. Bring your torches and pitchforks.

Bad day, you spew a lot of insults to Georgia people on here, And being a Tech Alum ( i’m guessing) you think that gives you the right. I know a lot of Dumb ass Tech folks. Get your royal nose out of the air, your not that special.

supersize, this one’s for you: ESPN reports that Paul Hewitt has said “No” to St. John’s. In further news, Georgia Tech has just said “HELL NO” to Paul Hewitt. This just in, Paul Hewitt seen crawling on his knees down Broadway begging for another chance with the Red Storm.

JB, this is a Tech blog, so I would contend that Bad day has a bit more reason to be here than you do. It’s not that Tech men act superior to UGA dogs, it’s just that you dogs have something of an inferiority complex which is perfectly justified. With every error-laden post you further prove that point.

Don’t you Georgia losers have a job? Get off the welfare and quit jerking around on the computer all day long.
