Game 17: AT George Washington University, Saturday, January 17th, 4:30 PM, NBCSN

[Washingtonian]

52-42 GW, 4:37 left and Mason takes a timeout.

 

[CHRISTOPHER JAMES JOLLAY]

Now after this second to last TO Hewitt, be sure and sub a lot and change things up constantly. Because just common sense.

Did you ever notice that our players actually stop playing after every made basket, because they look to the sideline assuming Hewitt is going to call a timeout. He's actually turned our players into Pavlov's dog.

 

[TweederGMU]

Not impressed with GW's team overall. They are a very beatable team. Sucks we just can't produce enough offense today to beat them.

 

[disgruntled]

this team is awful...

 

[polepino]

How many times are we going to try to surmount a double digit deficit to end the game? Same stuff over and over

 

[KAOriginal]

These poor kids just need a god damn coach with a logical system to follow.

Ugh.....

 

[disgruntled]

look...hewitt is actually working the refs with 2 minutes left in the game...

 

[Bricker]

This team is straight-up Walt Jr.

 

[Washingtonian]

At least we beat the spread, GW wins 63-53.

 

[disgruntled]

beating the spread...the new moral victory.

Edwards has to be preparing his 'talk' with Hewitt at this point..c'mon!

 

[CHRISTOPHER JAMES JOLLAY]

Cory Edwards--our best scoring guard. Bet you never saw THAT coming.

Honestly, if Edwards had any balls, he would can Hewitt the minute the team bus gets back to Fairfax. One week till the next game, that gives one of the assistants plenty of time to shake things up.

Edwards should let Corey fire Hewitt. And then do a high-five "Edwards stick together" kinda routine. Put it on YouTube, too...

[Leesburg Chankenstank III]

I've accepted and come to be at peace that this idiot of a coach will be here one more year.
Brad Edwards and Angel Cabrera don't give a shit about basketball, at least not enough to fire Hewitt.
Face it fellas, we are in love with a team in which the people who run it have no pride in our program and/or no power to do anything of substance.

1. Hewitt will be here one more year
2. Hewitt's lame duck year will deplete our recruiting efforts for the next coach
3. We will gamble with 3 or 4 coaches after Hewitt and all will be failures and 12 years from now, no one will even realize we have division 1 team

Now all this is worst case scenario, but if someone after the 2011 season told you that we would be where we are now, they would have said that our situation is also a worse case scenario. BE has said and done nothing to make me think otherwise. You would think that he would at least reassure fans/alumni with something about accountability. But he doesn't have to because not enough people care about Mason hoops.

George Mason Athletics is a place where people collect paychecks, nothing more. For them, Coach L era was an aberration that was nice to have but not necessary. There no visionary minds that have aspirations to do anything great, just keep the machine running and if we win, it'll be complete luck and not sustainable--- and they're okay with that. NO ONE OF POWER OR SUBSTANCE CARES. Not one person.

What exactly do you want BE to do? What can he do between now and the end of the year that is realistic and will make you feel better about him firing Hewitt in the end? No flame just curious.

 

[Raider_SPE]

I have been watching basketball all day and the one thing that has really stuck out the most is that even mediocre teams make the "extra pass" to get someone an open jumper.

It is pathetic that we cannot get Holloway (or anyone for that matter) an open rhythm jumper after swinging the ball around the key. F^*k this.

Reflecting a bit I really feel bad for Bryon, Sherrod, and others having had to go through their upperclassman years in Hewitt's system.

 

[Dawgs99]

Also speaking of Pat's awful shooting, when he does make one of his 15 shots per game he stares down the other teams bench like he's some badass, shit pisses me off. He is become one of my least favorite kids on the team.
