When you have pro scouts talking about how players were badly under utilized and placed in bad situations frequently by bad coaching, you know something is really wrong. Paul Hewitt is NOT coaching anything at alll. He spends more time on his racially divided thoughts than actually coaching the team. If you gave UNC, Duke or Michigan the kind of talent that he has they would have been preseason top 5, but the college basketball people know Paul Hewitt does not know basketball. They actually knew this after the run in 2003-2004. There was a huge outcry about our road to the finals and how we should not have gotten such an easy road. This was parcially because word abot Hewitt was already spreading. He is a 1,000,000 dollar a year second rate high school coach. Fire him and hire someone cheap that will at least try to make things work.

Paul Hewitt is another David Braine hire that was a mistake. He is not a coach. He got lucky one time and it will cost GT a lot of money to get rid of him. I hope that we don’t have to put up with him much longer.

Our problems start with poor point guard play especially Chumpert. Damm, he is awful.. But he is not as bad as Hewitt is as a coach . It’s like pick your poison.

why go to the ACC when you are going to face Duke, UNC, et al and get punished for four years? Go to the SEC and beat teams like UGA.

Hell, Wofford is beating UGA these days

It’s going to be hard for this team to compete in the ACC when they have to go out and beat their head coach every night. With the talent on this roster, we should be a top-ten team. Instead, Hewitt will coach them to the bubble. This is embarrassing.

I was in the minority of people who defended Hewitt last year. Arguing that give him a pass last year, because things were out of his control, and losses weren’t his fault. But, I would judge him harshly this year.. and this is pathetic. 26 TO’s?? Its as if nothing was learned from last year.. He better do something quick, because I’ve been one of his supporters, and I’m losing confidence.

We are soooo over Hewitt. We have been for a few years. We are just waiting patiently for the change. The fans have given up on him. No sell-outs, no interest. His style of basketball doesn’t sit well with GT fans and alum. I like the way Duke and UNC play basketball. Their kids grow up learning the fundamentals of basketball. They don’t ‘learn’ the game on a playground.

Same crap, different year! 11-20 at foul line. 26 turn overs. 2 3-pointers. we have players you can only run and just. Have no clue how to shoot. I am getting sooooooooooooooooooooo sick of GT’s bball program. Someone has to go! We need the football team to win the ACC championdhip game so we can get the money to buy out one basketball coach.

Hewitt is the Mark Richt of college basketball.

Early success that wasn’t his doing (Van Gorder = Jarett Jack). Great recruits that yield mediocre results.

Tech athletics will be focused on keeping Paul Johnson, I wonder if that will hamstring efforts to axe Hewitt?

Smart choice fella. Hewitt would have only coached him down.

26 turnovers!!!! We have 3 McDonalds all-americans in the STARTING line up!! 26 turnovers!!! I’m so fed up with Paul Hewitt I don’t know what to do. 2 games, and FAVORS can get no more than 10 points, and less than 10 shots per game?? Same story with CHRIS BOSH a few years back. Absolutely disgusting. PATHETIC.

Congrats to the kid and UT fans.

Bummer though, I was hoping he’d choose Tech. He might have helped attract a decent frickin head coach.

I hope he breaks his foot.
He will be a loser.
The SEC is only a football conference.
I guess playing in the BIG EAST was too hard for him.

Rabun Dawg, I agree…what are we doing to our young high school students? Do we have to make that (much) out of people…we have screwed up priorities.
