Poll Vote of Confidence: Paul Hewitt (1/25)

[HoopsAdmin]

I'm late on getting this week's poll up! Same question as always. Confidence in Hewitt rose from only 22% two weeks ago, to 35% last week. Will it rise again, plateau or drop?

The Junkies claim, "Everybody at Mason hates Hewitt."

Who am I to argue with the Junkies?

Interesting to see a 60% increase in what is essentially Hewitt's approval rating despite consecutive losses.

Stockholm syndrome takes Fairfax.

First step to recovery is admitting that there's a problem.
That No felt so good.
Onto step 2.
Came to believe that a power greater than ourselves (El Presidente?) could restore us to sanity.

Those who are voting "yes" are just messing with us. Have to be.

I abstained from the last poll, but I voted "No" here. I just don't see any way things will get better with a game at UMass, another at GW and two more against St. Louis. We might win a couple more games against the rest of our schedule, but I'm not holding my breath with this this coach and this roster.

I'd feel better if I thought we were building toward something after our first year in the A10, but our junior class is almost non-existent. That means we'll be relying on our current freshmen and sophomores as well as our incoming recruiting class if we are going to improve next year, and that would entail Hewitt being able to wrangle them into anything resemble a winning team.

Evidently, Coach Hewitt will continue to have his supporters on this board regardless of the record or team performance.

Don't forget there are 2 transfers eligible to play next season, including Julian Royal. It will be interesting to see who returns next season. And, will there be any changes to the coaching staff?

Pablos, I'm probably positive to a fault, so I'm not giving up all hope on the future. I'm actually looking forward to how athletic we will be, although I don't see that equating to a lot more wins. I just know we are doomed this season, which is what I based my vote on.

 

[GMUPHYS]

I have confidence in Julian Royal...

 

[gmubrian]

Should we change to the question to: Are you one of the 11 people in the AD who has an account on MasonHoops.com

Wait, who is the other transfer who is eligible to play next year other than Royal?

By the way, with the vote now 18-14, I think Brian might be on to something.

Myles Tate?

Myles Tate? Or something like that. Transfer from Mars Hill. He's a walk on.

 

[gmutom]

Myles Tate?

So will he stay as a walk-on, or are we giving him a scholarship? Just trying to figure out the head count for next year.

If they actually give him a scholarship.....

And notice how the Yes votes come in almost immediately after the poll is created, during what is the middle of the work day for most of us, while the No votes tend to take until evening, or even over the next few days. Almost like an organization that has a vested interest is hoping to vote early to show that there is support and hope it will cause others to question their votes since others have voted that way. Very suspicious.

My other theory is that most of the Yes votes are unemployed, because their skills in using logic are questionable.

It's definitely just vcu fans f**king with us. So yes, unemployed, questionable logic skills, etc.

 

[sigmanorm]

I have confidence in his recruiting ability, but not game management at this point. Our issues this year are almost always in the 2nd half and that has to be related to adjustments at halftime.

I'm not buying it that these are just vcu fans. There are Mason fans who continue to express their support for Hewitt on this board. And, I'm sure there were GT fans who continued to support Hewitt until he was fired.
