At the Friday news conference to discuss coach Brian Gregory’s termination, Georgia Tech athletic director Mike Bobinski danced around two hypothetical questions about how Gregory could have retained his job. Still, he acknowledged that Tech either making the NCAA tournament or the NIT semifinals would have created a different scenario out of which he would have been making a decision on Gregory’s future.
That both scenarios were hardly far-fetched speaks to the thin margin that often keeps coaches in jobs or has them looking for work.
Tech was 19-14 after the ACC tournament with an RPI in the mid-60’s.
