[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 218205, member: 2299"] Gregory fixing the academics is a myth. GT had a single year APR score of the following. 07-08 - 840. 08-09 -953 09-10 -~ 960 10-11 - 1000 <--- Hewitt's last year. 11-12 - 1000 12-13 - 1000 The big improvement in APR didn't happen under gregory. It happened under Hewitt. The fix was already in when gregory was hired, and the administration made a big deal about it only because they knew it would be something to point to and claim the new coach improved, justifying the hire that they knew was bad. The truth is no matter who we hired, they were likely going to "fix" the issue. And the APR is a joke anyways. In theory it's about graduating players. In reality that's not the case at all, else gregory wouldn't be seen as the academic savior. It's about having eligibility at the end of the spring semester. Because of that the mass amounts of transfers we had actually helped our APR despite not actually graduating from GT because they were forced to keep eligibility in order to play for their new school. The biggest threat to APR scores is players skipping out on their last semester in order to prepare for the NBA draft, because people who will be spending the next decade in the NBA preparing for the NBA is apparently a bad thing according to the NCAA. But when you don't bring in any talent that is NBA level, that isn't an issue. gregory did nothing impressive academically. What would be impressive is if the new coach was able to have a high APR score while actually bringing in potential NBA players. [/QUOTE]
