The former Georgia Tech coach was hired Saturday to replace Jim Larranaga, who left this month for the University of Miami.
Hewitt was fired by the Yellow Jackets last month. He went 190-162 over 11 years at the school and was just 72-104 in the Atlantic Coast Conference.
Hewitt is receiving a $7.2 million buyout over five years from Georgia Tech, making him more affordable for a school like George Mason of the Colonial Athletic Association.
