Countdown to the End of the Coach Hewitt Era

anyone know if my cat was right?

I should have specified that although my contact is connected, he is not a hoops junkie like the rest of us here. He clearly mentioned those specific schools to me, but he very well could have mixed Minnesota with another school.

perhaps it was Miami????

If Edwards already has a list then I am happy. I just need a change any change

Nope. The exact opposite. Get it right this time, not just anyone.

 

[gmuphan]

agreed, lets get it right this time. I keep coming on here checking if there is any news..very frustrating no announcement yet.

 

[Pikapppatri8]

I don't disagree let me be clear. I am worn down, abused, defeated, broken. I just want the bad man to stop making noise in my head . I cannot take it anymore. I have fantasies about suck starting my .45 calibre Colt

If its a UVA assistant its almost certainly Jason Wiliford. Don't think Ritchie Mckay would get back behind the big desk at a school like Mason....or I could be way off. I love defense so if its Wiliford I'd be OK with that.

Last time we hired a former UVA assistant, we did Ok. So I'm good with it.

McKay is a solid coach who did a good job at Liberty, which is a very tough place to recruit. I've heard he's putting himself out on the market quietly so he can start interviewing whenever UVa gets knocked out of the tournament.

Still, I'd rather have Williford. A young, charismatic guy who has learned how to coach under Tony Bennett. What's not to like.

so he can start interviewing whenever UVa gets knocked out of the tournament.

That might be awhile...

I have it on completely unreliable, speculative, 5th hand information that Hewitt is leaving on a 2 week trip today...

One way ticket??

So, to summarize, you were privy to Mason's internal memos and now it's "completely unreliable, speculative, 5th hand information."

I assume we all agree that an announcement is likely within days.

Something! Anything! Just like the dude in the new Vince Vaughn movie "the anticipation is the worst!"

There's always various levels of sources. I just tell what level I hear from.

Like FOX, I report, you decide.

High Point under Scott Cherry has won their conference regular season the last three years. Haven't made it to the big dance yet, but have played post-season ball three straight years for the first time in High Point history.

I posted a similar response on another thread but Larranaga didn't take Bowling Green to any NCAA tourneys before he got to GMU.

Yes, but if we expect our coach to not only get us to the tournament regularly, but also get out of the first weekend on occasion, their performance in single-elimination tournaments is pretty important, especially when they have been the higher seed.

This isn't nearly the program it was back in 1997

So as not to interfere at all with the rest of the A-10 tournament, I expect the announcement will come no sooner than the end of our conference tournament. I am guessing sometime between the end of the conference tournament and the beginning of the NCAA tournament -- an admittedly short window. Otherwise, then after the NCAA tournament is over.

April 2015- To not interfere with the Final Four, Mason will not make any coaching changes until after the National Championship

May 2015 - To not interfere with the off-season, Mason will not make any coaching changes until September 2015

September 2015 - Due to a lack of qualified candidates Mason will not be making any coaching changes for this season.

All jokes aside, there is no reason not to have handed him his pink slip the day after the Fordham loss. What benefit does waiting provide, and don't give me this we do everything with CLASS crap at Mason. Classy programs don't squander opportunities, hire brain dead coaches, and alienate a fanbase/alumni.

If I had to bet, I have a feeling the news leaks out Sunday night, with a press conference scheduled for Monday. Thats how the A-10 announcement came. I have no source, just a prediction.

It could be later too of course.
