Five who could replace Paul Hewitt

Five coaches who could replace fired Georgia Tech head basketball coach Paul Hewitt.

Scott Drew - Drew built Baylor into a Top 25 program after taking over a depleted and demoralized team in 2003 in the wake of the Patrick Dennehy murder and scandals surrounding former coach Dave Bliss. The Bears made the Sweet 16 last season, but are under scrutiny of the NCAA for some recruiting concerns.

Tommy Amaker - The former Duke Blue Devil led Harvard to a program record 23 victories this year and a share of the Ivy League title. The school earned its first ever NIT bid going 23-6 with wins over Colorado, George Washington and Boston College.

Randy Bennett - The nine-year coach at St. Mary's is about to take the Gaels to their fourth-straight postseason tournament (3 NCAAs, 1 NIT).

Mark Turgeon - In his first four years at Texas A&M, Turgeon has led an Aggies squad to the NCAA Tournament. A member of the 1988 national champions Kansas Jayhawks, Turgeon has been an assistant under Larry Brown and Roy Williams.

Craig Neal - A two-year starter at Georgia Tech in the mid-1980s, Neal had 659 career assists - third best in school history. An associate head coach at New Mexico, Neal also has coached at Iowa and spent eight seasons with the NBA's Toronto Raptors.
