College Basketball's Best Coaches
CollegeHoops.net is lucky to have access to some of the best coaches in college basketball. As part of our preseason interview series, we thought it would be appropriate to ask these basketball minds about the best things that their team and college basketball has to offer.
Paul Hewitt: Georgia Tech
We continue this month long Q&A Series with 9th year Georgia Tech coach Paul Hewitt, who has led the Yellow Jackets to 4 NCAA Tournaments. Coach Hewitt was kind enough to take some time out of his busy schedule to answer questions for CollegeHoops.net:
CollegeHoops.net) What will be the best strength of this year's team?
Paul Hewitt) We can really shoot the basketball.
CHN) Who are the biggest leader on this year's squad?
PH) I think we have a core of good leaders in D'Andre Bell, Zack Peacock and Moe Miller. So I think we have some good leaders on this team.
CHN) What's the best change you've made in your coaching style in recent seasons?
PH) Being more patient with freshmen.
CHN) If everything goes according to plan, what's the best case scenario this season?
PH) We can be one of the best three or four teams in the ACC.
CHN) What's the best arena you guys play at in the ACC?
PH) I guess you've got say to Duke. They have really good players, and they get their fans into the game.
Coach Hewitt also wanted us to mention that Tech fans and anyone in the Atlanta region should get involved with Project Success sponsored by the 100 Black Men of Atlanta (they mentor kids from 9th to 12th grade), as well as HERO for Children and the Boys and Girls Clubs of Metro Atlanta.

Just a typo on my part

Its a series of questions we ask various coaches.. the last Q&A before this was with Jerry Wainright of DePaul, hence the Big East typo.

WOULD SOME OF YOU REPORTERS ASK COACH HEWITT WHY HE DOES NOT SEEM TO RECRUIT ANY WHITE PLAYERS FOR GEORGIA TECH? AT LEAST YOU NEVER SEE ANY ON THE BENCH, EXCEPT FOR THE TOKEN WALK ON.
FOR THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS WE SEEM TO AVERAGE ONE OUT OF THIRTEEN.
TALK ABOUT REVERSE DESCRIMINATION.
IF THE RATIO WERE REVERSED, WE WOULD HAVE ALL THE SPECIAL CITIZEN GROUPS UP IN ARMS.

Duke = Big East?
Does Mr. Hewitt know that Duke is in the ACC not the Big East?
