Poll Vote of Confidence: Paul Hewitt (1/18)

[HoopsAdmin]

Same question, a week later - after losing a close one to #16 UMass and in OT @ Rhode Island.

Do you have confidence in Paul Hewitt? Has your opinion changed after two competitive games?

 

[TweederGMU]

LOL. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[mason lawyer]

Hmm I voted no but I'm happy we covered the spread

 

[gmujim92]

Uh, no.

 

[GMUSig03]

Compared to right before the vcu game I actually have a lot more confidence in PHewitt. I think he still does a lot of questionable things (time outs and substituting mostly), but I think it's becoming clearer and clearer that these players are mentally deficient and are the primary cause of our struggles.

I fine with a semi-retarded individual leading a bunch of retarded individuals.

Look I have relatives with special needs, so I hope I'm not offending anyone, but all I can say is "retarded" right now. It's the only word that fits.

the correct term is intellectual disabilities.....

The more I watch this team, the less I put it on Hewitt and the more I put it on the Coach L recruits.

He should be given an extension for having to coach some of these guys.

This is an EXTREMELY fair assessment.

Band Aid time.....rip it off after this year.

Hewitt, Wright, Allen, Williams all gone at once.

 

[Walter]

Whose players did he coach at GaTech?

Actually, I do find it insulting that you continue to call these young men retarded.
And to lump them all together is just not right. Jenkins, Holloway and Marko played well today and you are not out there running up and down the court for 30 to 40 minutes trying your best.... as I know they all are.
It really ticks me off that all of you feel so comfortable to use words like retard and the new one for today is the color guy. And if you really have relatives who are individuals with disabilities.....well I just feel sorry for them, but I feel more sorry for you!

You of course realize that color guy is a legitimate media term for anyone white or black. If you do not, you are either a brilliant parody or one of the players' moms.

I'm not sure it gets any better than this. lol

He needed to make them tired first. 30 minutes of sprints and then they needed to run the play 100 times and then more sprints and then run the play another 100.

That was a good article. I wondered if GMU should have just thrown the ball in the backcourt at the end of the UMass game. It troubles me that Hewitt was suggesting it as a strategy the next day in practice, but apparently didn't just tell them to do it during the game. I know we didn't have a timeout, but seems like he could have just yelled it to the team.

 

[GSII]

Past two games weren't on Hewitt totally. These guys are LD. But he's LD too for making his LD kids look LD on the court. Change the offensive scheme or make it a point the ball enters the post to Jenkins, Copes etc. The longer we wait for a stud PG, the longer this pitty party continues.

 

[GMUSSTN]

Honestly Hewitt doesn't bother me so much, but I really wish he would hire an assistant or two that would make up for his shortcomings. I think the players like him, I think he's a likeable guy, he just can't do it all himself. He's like a half-coach.

Anyway I wouldn't shed a tear if he was fired, but if we keep him some changes have to be made.

 

[CHRISTOPHER JAMES JOLLAY]

I swear to God Patrick Holloway's mom was on here again. I swear to God. Or did I imagine it?

Really can't believe how so many are buying into the coach speak. Easy to accept if ignore his years at GT I guess.
