Georgia Tech hires Brian Gregory

[TOP]

Per Gary Parrish

Dayton's Brian Gregory has reached an agreement in principle to become the next men's basketball coach at Georgia Tech, a source told CBSSports.com on Monday.

An official announcement is expected soon.

A source said Gregory told his team at a meeting early Monday.

Gregory spent eight seasons at Dayton and took the Flyers to two NCAA tournaments, but he only finished higher than seventh in the Atlantic 10 once in the past six seasons. The former Michigan State assistant is replacing Paul Hewitt at Georgia Tech. The ACC school fired Hewitt earlier this month after five NCAA tournaments 11 seasons.

GT09 said this was impossible.

Aside from finishing 1st and 2nd in the A10 his first two seasons, he isn't that great on paper. 11th, 7th, 7th, 2nd, 7th and 8th.

Has the feel of a let down for them.

Makes our hire look a lot better. NC State fans want zona's coach. They are delusional.

It was until five or six different guys told Tech they had no interest.

Seems like Hewitt trashed that program.

That is still a pretty bad hire no matter how many people turned them down. Cuonzo is a much better coach IMO

I would much rather have Cuonzo Martin than Gregory.

That's an understatement.

Perhaps he's a better fit, IDK. It just looks like his normal A-10 finish was barely in the top half.

I don't want either.

The same Georgia Tech that issued Hewitt's contract?

I think that Coach Martin has more potential upside at UT than Gregory does at Ga Tech.
Hiring Gregory at UT could have caused a run on the mattress establishments in Knoxville.


Heard at noon, that Sean Miller told NC State no. So they are down to Smart or Marshall per a NC State site similar to Volquest (can't remember the name).

two different AD's.

The only thing that GT is missing now is Mike Hamilton as AD. What an unbelievably bad hire!

Apparently during his interview some concerns came up about him handling academics at GT.
