Coach K says nice things about Paul Hewitt...

.... a quote from his recent ACC teleconference:

Quote from Coach K at Dook:
"Georgia Tech has a rich tradition that was established by one of the great coaches in the history of the ACC in Bobby Cremins. They were down a little bit. Paul (Hewitt) is an outstanding coach in his own right and has built on that tradition. He's gotten good kids in and now he has some veterans. He has guys who are juniors and seniors who have been through the ACC. When you finish around .500 in our league and you return veterans, they're probably just a few points away from being an NCAA team and so they're not that far away. They're on a mission. You have to respect them and give them credit for the job they've done. Paul is a really good guy and he's good for the game. Obviously he's an outstanding coach."
