George Mason Coach Paul Hewitt, who also coached at Georgia Tech for 11 seasons, leading the Yellow Jackets to a Final Four in 2004, said “the marketplace for coaches is generally fair,” but worries that a few recent trends are hurting minority candidates.

“It seems we’re sometimes dealing with the law of unintended consequences,” Hewitt said. “I don’t think any one thing is causing the problem, but some of the recent trends in the sport could make things more difficult.”

UNLV will play four exhibition games in Canada this August, traveling to Ottawa and Montreal.

Florida State has signed 7-foot-1 center Michael Ojo.

Ojo is originally from Nigeria.

Ojo weighs 290 pounds and averaged 15 points, 14 rebounds and 5 blocks per game as a senior at Tennessee Temple High School in Chattanooga, Tenn.

“Michael has been playing basketball for only a few years and is a dedicated, hard-working young man who has a very high basketball ceiling,” said Tennessee Temple High school head coach Randy Lee. “While I don’t want to place unrealistic expectations on Michael, he is right now physically talented enough to play in the ACC – he only needs time to develop his understanding of the game of basketball. He has the ability to be a good rebounder and has a very imposing presence in the paint with his 7-foot-8 wingspan. Coach Hamilton and his staff not only have a great history of identifying talented post players but they have the patience to help them develop over time. Florida State and Coach Hamilton’s system are perfect fits for Michael and he will be a great addition to the Seminole program.”

Stanford Robinson has committed to Indiana.

Robinson is a shooting guard in the class of 2013.
