Commentary: Is it just a matter of time before the Knicks come calling for Hewitt?


Everyone knows the feud going on between Stephon Marbury and Larry Brown in New York. Last week ESPN reported a rumor that the New York Knicks were going to buy out the contract of the current coach Brown. It is no secret that Paul Hewitt is a "die hard" New York Knicks fan. If you dont think so, just ask BJ Elder from an article when BJ was trying out for the New York Knicks.


“Coach (Paul) Hewitt is from New York and he is a HUGE Knicks fan,” the 6-4 Elder explains with a smile. “Oh, yes, we’ve heard about what the Knicks were doing all season. We knew all about the Knicks. Maybe too much.”


Nobody is quite sure what is going to happen with Larry Brown in New York just yet, but everyone would have to imagine that Paul Hewitt will get a call to be interviewed for the job. If the Knicks buy out Brown's contract, they will reportedly have to pay him in excess of 40 million dollars. Coach Hewitt's current contract at Georgia Tech pays him a little over a million dollars a year. I would have to say if the Knicks offer, Coach could be gone. It's his dream, but it's our dream to have him stay here for a couple more years at least. It should be interesting to see how it plays out. The good news for GT fans? Larry Brown has had a horrid start at his last two stops. Be ended up bringing Philly to the Finals, and then won a title with Detroit. So if you're reading this Isiah Thomas, please keep Larry one more year, and let us give Coach to you with a National Championship trophy.
