Anybody remember if Gregory's contract had an offset for a new job? I know Hewitt's did not, don't remember if that was inserted when Gregory had his contract redone or not.

I don't think there's an offset and his remaining payouts are somewhat minimal at this point.

Well...he left Lammers, Heath, Stevens, Heyward, Jackson, Gueye, Ogbonda and recruited and signed Okogie and Matthews. So he did leave the foundation. Now, that foundation was in the form of cement, water, aggregate and lime; but the makings were there. CJP and staff proportioned the raw ingredients properly and created 15ksi concrete.

Some good shooters will be the strong aggregate needed... [emoji6]

Did this fool say Hewitt?

Hewitt's capable of winning. We've seen him do it. He let things get out of hand after the championship game year and never got it set right, but at a mid-major he could exceed expectations. It'd take a lot of energy, but the man could recruit.
We were just stupid with the contract. That's on our AA and our AD. He'd have been a fool to turn down that contract. Braine's the guy to be mad at.

I think you mean George Mason? I think he got to the point even before George Mason that he was coasting (JMHO). He won his first two seasons there, but either didn't have the staff or the effort to get it done there long term. He didn't get to the championship game by accident.
I don't want him back, but that doesn't mean I don't think he had ability. We had to fire him because he was never going to live up to a monster unending contract, and he was going to sit there and take money without really earning it. But we went downhill from him to BG.
If you don't believe me, look at their records at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgia_Tech_Yellow_Jackets_men's_basketball. Hewitt made 5 NCAA Tournaments and 1 NIT in 11 years. BG made 1 NIT in 5 seasons with seniors and grad transfers.
Hewitt's record overall was 53.9% (not HOF caliber, but he had some big wins). Gregory's was 46.9%, and no big victories as far as I can remember.

I meant George Mason too. Wherever he went after Tech. I stopped following him after tech. It was a legitimate question.
