[QUOTE="bke1984, post: 133715, member: 932"] Please don't misunderstand what I'm saying here. If you were around me during the games you probably wouldn't even believe that I wrote the post above. For the most part, we have been down right abysmal on offense this year. Maybe the worst offense I've ever seen Tech have. However, I think what is lost in all of this mess is how amazing we've been on defense. Granted, missing as many shots as we do gives us a much better chance at offensive rebounds, but we're not giving up a whole lot of points. Aside from a few instances, we've still have been in just about every game we've played until the last minute (including the Duke game). This is the same argument I made during some of the past few football seasons when everyone was ready to ditch CPJ. The difference between great seasons and bad seasons can literally be 5-6 plays here and there. The 2012 football season is one of the best examples: OT losses to VT and Miami were basically one-play games, and the mental letdown against MTSU probably doesn't happen if we win just one of those two...7-7 could have easily been 10-4. Back to basketball...let's say a few balls go through the net in the games listed above and it looks like we're improving rather than turning into a complete dumpster fire. But we do eventually need to see results. If Gregory goes, I'm not going to be horribly upset. However, IMO paying two basketball coaches to NOT coach you while paying a third to do so is definitely not going to help the program either. We have to pay Gregory through 2017-2018 either way. I believe Hewitt comes off the payroll after next year, so let's maybe wait and see if it's another 6-12 season before we make decisions that just dig the hole even deeper. [/QUOTE]

How many points did Georgia Tech score against Cumberland in 1916?
