    Coaches on the Hot Seat

    Not criticizing you, because I've seen this sentiment many places, but I really don't like this rationale for not taking action. The Hewitt buyout has absolutely nothing to do with today's GT basketball program. It's a debt that was incurred for the benefit of the program many years ago, and...

    ACC Tournament

    Don't think it was POV. I don't know if it was the matchup, or just an off day, but I thought he clearly did not play as well as his recent performances.

    Winning streak

    We can hope that Jorgenson continues to improve, but he tore his knee in November 2013, more than 2 years ago.

    Sugiura: Notre Dame win earns Gregory $3,000 bonus

    Disagree completely. GT is my alma mater, and its teams will always be my teams. Though there is room for debate about the proper balance, I'm glad that GT maintains institutional control, rather than allowing a group of alumni to operate a sport's program in the school's name.

    Financial Problems

    Following up on my on post, I was curious about the APR numbers quoted in the press release. I notice that the press release counts the 2010-2011 APR as Gregory's first year, even though he was hired in March 2011 (or maybe April 1). There's some logic to this, in that to achieve full...

    Financial Problems

    I believe that the 1 year extension came in 2013, after Year 2. According to the Memorandum of Understanding when he was hired, his salary for the 1st two years was $1 million, and there were to be provisions for a contract review 90 days after the second season ended. Bobinski officially...

    Sad, but true - A GT Hoops Story

    Do you know who "Holmes" is? The article is on Channel 46's website, so I'm guessing this is a local sports guy? I've managed to totally ignore the local TV stations long enough that I have no idea who the anchors are. Hot take, though.

    Sad, but true - A GT Hoops Story

    My understanding is that to earn full APR points, at the end of the semester the S-A needs to be eligible to compete in the following semester, and then needs to either return, graduate, or transfer. If a one-and-done BB S-A stays through the end of their second semester and would be eligible...

    Sad, but true - A GT Hoops Story

    It is hard to argue with, but I'm not sure that Bilas' citing "admissions" is really part of the solution. With the APR rules, you really have to make sure that the student-athletes are capable of doing the work. Now, maybe given the academic problems at the end of the Hewitt era, Gregory has...

    When will we be able to afford....

    Excellent summary. I'd add a few points which may not interest anyone but me: 6a. Gregory was hired March 28, 2011. The AJC printed the memorandum of understanding. It called for "Annual base compensation of $1,000,000, with no escalating value for at least the first two years". It also...

    Pitt - 1/6

    re: Jacobs I don't know if everyone is aware, but he had a death in the family in December. Missed some practices in dealing with that, which led to not starting for two games. I have no idea who the family member was, or his relationship with them, but I'm guessing that some of the...

    Hewitt's buyout structure...

    I kind of hate to give this it's own thread, but while I'm convinced I saw questions about this in some other threads, I can't find them now. Anyway, after scrounging around this afternoon I think I can say this: Hewitt was fired in March 2011, before his contract would have rolled over and...
