Countdown to the End of the Coach Hewitt Era

[Pablo]

I had better hear something in the next 32 hours.

I expect that the announcement will be made this week after everyone returns from the A10 tourney and spring break. So, I won't be concerned if it doesn't happen on Monday.

If Lamar has his way, you better be ready with your plan. Let me know if you need someone to pour the gas on you or to light the match. I am here to help.

I feel like everyone here is like the little kid waiting on Santa Claus on Christmas eve by the fireplace. As the Christmas gets closer and closer, the kid starts wondering why he hasn't seen Santa yet.

So he starts rationalizing it by coming up with reasons;

1. Maybe there’s a bad storm at the north pole,
2. Maybe Santa got too full on milk and cookies so had to go to the bathroom
3. Maybe Santa got hit in the face with reindeer poop causing a delay
4. Maybe Santa got in a fight with Mrs. Claus clause and that bitch wouldn’t leave him alone about the pee stains on the toilet seat

But as the night wears on, he will slowly start to realize that either Santa doesn’t care about him or even worse, Santa doesn’t exist.

I really hope that Santa’s real. I really do.

I'm not concerned at all because it's a done deal and Hewitt knows it.

I just selfishly want Edwards to do it tomorrow so we can have at least a few hours in the news before the NCAA tournament starts.

Announcing Hewitt's firing is the first step in re-energizing our fan base. We need to do it at a time when people are paying attention instead of obsessing over their tournament brackets.

Jim,
What do you think about Brad Underwood coming here and/or as a coach in general?

 

[Pikapppatri8]

Yes Chankentstank there is a Santa Claus. As, sure as there are thousands of Mason faithful with hearts beating in hopes of a new coach. As sure as Jollay is dousing his righty whitey laden body is doused in high octane gasoline with a lit match nearby. He is just as real as GMUTom's Betamax porn collection and Walt's leather bound collection of Adam Smith and Ayn Rand manuscripts and recipes. And just as surely KA will traumatized his body watching Dutch women pleasure themselves over the Internet Santa will come and bless Mason Nation with a new coach and bright basketball future.

Underwood is obviously a very good coach, but he's not coming here. Neither are guys like Prohm or Hunter or Bobby Hurley.

The thing about college basketball today is that you can get to a big-time job from lower mid-level schools like SFA, Murray State or GSU.

Those guys have already proven they can run quality programs. They don't need an intermediate stop and that's what Mason would be -- not a bad job by any means, but also not a destination job at this point.

I truly believe that Santa exists, he reportedly is now bald, clean shaven, wears a sick @ss ring, and is rumored to have very big balls. He is going to deliver a gift as good as we could ever have expected.

We may not be able to predict when he will deliver, but he will deliver it when the timing is perfect, he won't be able to tip his hand as to when he will deliver, but, it will become more clear why he timed it that way after he does deliver.

When Santa does deliver, though, we will need to respond in kind to show our appreciation and make donations to his favorite organization, which happens to be the Mason Patriot Club. We will need to make donations till it hurts. Cash in your retirement accounts, raid your kids college funds, skimp on future vacations, keep that old clunker of a car limping along and donate all of that money to the Mason Patriot Club.

Do you know something? Please God, say you know something!

Lamar has been nuts on twitter about this for a while.

I had no idea he is such a huge 49ers fan until I started following him. He's very passionate about that as well.

 

[Leesburg Chankenstank III]

Wijg and Pikapp, you're confidence that he is real is very reassuring, but I still won't be able to get a god night's sleep until it happens.

 

[CHRISTOPHER JAMES JOLLAY]

I am convinced the AD wants him gone, but no one I know has proof positive it is a done deal.

I will not be happy if there is no news by Monday night.

C'mon Chris, you know how these things work -- especially at a place like Mason that isn't exactly covered by a bloodthirsty media probing for leaks.

Edwards isn't going to give us any "proof" until the deed is done. He's been consistent in that regard.

It continues to not at all be Edwards and his office that concerns me...

I'm still confident, but every day after today I hear nothing...less so.

Edwards isn't going to want a long gap between Hewitt's departure and the new hire. The longer this goes the greater the likelihood that the new coach's team is still playing.

I've been told that the new coach doesn't currently have a team, and his hiring will be announced very quickly after Hewitt is officially dispatched.

We will see soon enough whether that is accurate or not.

This comment really worries me, unless it's Howland

Edwards would have to be playing that extraordinarily close to the vest and be consulting next to no one for that to be true.

Why would you wait to announce Hewitt is terminated? Because if he can't get his guy he'll retain Hewitt?

Makes no sense. As I said, I break glass tomorrow night if no news.

and honestly, that's how it should be - support the guy fully until he isn't your guy

 

[GSII]

Does 'not have a team' mean he is not a head coach?

What coaches don't have a team?

Seth Greenberg - not a good coach. total dick to players.
Dino Guadio - decent
Howland - good, to great, but i have an uneasy feeling
Mike Montgomery - old

not thrilled with any of the above. anyone else out there?
