[NU Sports] blowout loss to NU didn't help him

[Weinbaum, Willie]

---GEORGIA TECH FIRES HEAD COACH PAUL HEWITT: Hewitt went 190-162 in 11 seasons, including a 13-18 record this season, which ended with loss in the first round of the ACC tournament. He led the Yellow Jackets to the NCAA Tournament five times, including the school's only appearance in the national championship game, and the NIT once. However, he went 72-104 in conference play, with just one winning season. He never won the conference's regular-season or tournament titles, though they twice played for the latter. The change means Hewitt is owed $7.2 million, per the deal signed in 2004 after he led the Yellow Jackets to the national championship game. Hewitt declined to say anything about the buyout, other than the reporters seemed to be more versed in the details of his contract than he is.
