WASHINGTON – As speculation swirls around Georgia Tech and the future of coach Brian Gregory, forward Charles Mitchell gave a different, impassioned perspective on the man he called a mentor.
“The thing I hate about the critics and people outside the program is, he’s been such a great help to so many of us,” Mitchell said following the Yellow Jackets’ defeat to Virginia at the ACC tournament. “People don’t realize that. On the outside looking in, so many people worry about the numbers, but in the locker room, outside the locker room, he has been the greatest help to me, and I will always respect that man, I will always have his back.
