Sources: Hewitt staying at Georgia Tech
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Paul Hewitt is staying at Georgia Tech.
Hewitt, according to sources close to the situation, has spurned interest from St. John's and decided to remain in Atlanta -- where he has spent the last decade.
Hewitt is a New York native who turned down St. John's the last time around -- and was Chris Monasch's top target this time after Norm Roberts was let go.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Georgia Tech was 23-13 this past season, 7-9 in ACC play. The Yellow Jackets lost to Ohio State last weekend in the second round of the NCAA tournament.
Hewitt is 177-144 in his tenure and led Georgia Tech to the national title game in 2004.
Hewitt's contract is a five-year rollover in which he would pay $3.4 million if he leaves. If Georgia Tech decides to let him go, the school would owe him more than $7 million.
