Paul Hewitt's Future

[Leesburg Chankenstank III]

I find it hard to believe that any other school would hire Hewitt at this point. I think there is a large enough body of work to conclude he is a fraud. Am I alone in this?

Does anyone on these boards believe any school in the country would hire him if he gets axed in a couple of weeks?

As long as it's not here, I don't care what his future is. As for coaching, I would wager to bet this is his last hc gig for at least a long while. I'm sure some school may get lured in by his ability to recruit 6'7 misfits and have him as an assistant.

I'm sure that Mason cares, given that there is a salary offset provision in his contract (assuming that he's fired after this season and is hired by another school for next season). Let's hope that a school uses the consulting firm in this link to assist it in hiring its next head coach - http://www.athleticsolutionsllc.com/.

I don't see a guy with the ego of PH working as an assistant for someone else. His coaching days are probably over here in a few weeks.

He might end up at the division 2 or 3 level. Even Pat Kennedy got hired for a d2 school.

 

[Vurbel]

Maybe a UMBC or Marymount type.

"My first job: Burger King on Westbury, Long Island. It lasted 13 minutes because I showed up late from basketball practice. He fired me on the spot."

Paul's life will come full circle and he will become a Burger King crew member.



Embrace your future Paul. An exciting career in fast food awaits.

I'm sure somebody will hire Hewitt as a studio or game analyst just because he's a well-known name and he's well spoken. If being an above average coach or player was a prerequisite for being on TV, Seth Greenberg and Tim Legler never would have been hired.

 

[CHRISTOPHER JAMES JOLLAY]

He would need a three year respite or so most likely, but wouldn't ever say never. Westhead and Nestor did it again.

This would also allow for a salary offset for the period remaining on his employment contract.

Athletic Solutions Consulting looks like it could use some help: http://www.athleticsolutionsllc.com/

I think they should be forced to hire him for $650K next year.

Paul "The Virus" Hewitt
"Whats best for this team is to play everyone that is 6'7 or taller on the wings, even if they cant shoot, dribble or pass Bc it creates obvoius mismatches everywhere. And really the biggest thing is timeouts, use em up!!, bc.its better for your players' mentality to play without a safety net. But really the biggest thing is having strong guard play. Those guys have to make all their shots from the low post and of coarse the bigs need to learn to feed those guards and keep em happy down low. And the biggest thing is communication. I used to have my guys bring their cell phones on the bench to better communicate during a game. I couldnt get my kids to do this, or anything well, at two well known programs, but hay, they gave me lots of money to try. It didnt work, and thats why im here next to you and seth Greenberg"

I called to ask if they knew anything about solutions for bringing down a program. All I heard in the background was GMU Whaaaaaat!!

As much hate as he receives, its been mentioned before that he has shown some adeptness to tv analysis, and I can see him doing that. I will think he will take a break from coaching for a while before the bug hits him and he'll start answering calls for opportunities. Hopefully he'll have righted his ship by then. Its just crazy to think, after the heights he's achieved, that he's just a bad coach who 'lucked' his way to success. I guess he should have taken that break from bball that was apparently planned after he got axed from GTech.

 

[Quentin Daniels]

Maybe. I'd take him as a lead assistant in a heart beat. Just not the guy in charge.

Maybe he goes to a program like Kentucky.

 

[GSII]

Perhaps if he coached under someone who was worth a damn he'd of learned to deal with certain situations instead of throwing blame onto others i.e. players, Ga Tech. Good thing GMU has given him zero fodder to lay blame on them. I think he coached under steve kappas at villanova but that guy is hardly much to learn from. He didn't have much fire to keep coaching. In some ways Hewitt was unlucky, super lucky, and now is balancing out. Unfortunately at our expense.
