[uconngb]

All of a sudden things don't look so bad around here!!

Did they get annihilated tho?

Losing to Navy IS getting annihilated

Seems like they are living up to their expectations this year.

 

[WeAreUCONN]

David Robinson must have played

 

[Chin Diesel]

David Robinson > Patrick Ewing.

 

[WeAreUCONN]

David Robinson > Patrick Ewing.

I think so too. Although I was a spurs fan for the past 30+ years.

 

[WeAreUCONN]

David Robinson > Patrick Ewing.

Duncan greater than them both though.

Truth

Who would have guessed that hiring a former player with no head coaching experience might not work out?

Things don't look that bad around here, no matter what happens to Georgetown.

Watched parts of the game Navy is much better than either team we played so far, much better.

Army looks good too. Watch out whoever draws the Patriot League Champ in the first round.

And we didn’t lose. We won two games by an average of 20 points.

 

[UconnU]

Dare I say G- town got annihilated by Navy?

Man Georgetown should really be a top 20 program every single season. Elite academics, deep program history, Big East, DC is a fun city, tons of money and rich donors. How on earth are they unable to attract talent or poach a great coach? Whoever is running their athletics department is a certified moron for not being able to right the ship. They - and UCLA - are the biggest sleeping giants in basketball
They need to call Chris Beard and tell him they will pay him whatever he wants

I’m not sure I said we lost, let me go back and see where I missed that?

Then what was your point? Navy looked better than CCSU and UHart.......great. So what?

Yeah I agree. Georgetown has the donors to get any coach they would want. Ewing isn’t the guy if he doesn’t win next season. Any coach would hop at that job. Ironically, Kenya Hunter would be a terrific fit for that job with his Maryland connections. But any coach would seriously hear them out.

Joke wasn't lost on me, but Ewing was an NBA assistant for 15 years. He earned the opportunity.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Georgetown has good pieces, but they are missing the "guy" to initiate offense.

Until someone steps up, they'll stay in the cellar. Jordan Riley and Tyler Beard will be given a lot of opportunities next year after Blair/Harris graduate.

Do you actually have a point to make here? Not seeing it.

I don't agree with this at all. Ewing had more than a dozen years as a top assistant on various NBA benches.

That being said, you can't always go home.. Look at our debacle with Kevin Ollie, it seems like the same is coming sooner or later with G'Town cutting loose one of their favorite sons.

I have no inside knowledge but sometimes it just doesn't work out. Sometimes a phenomenal assistant can be a terrible head coach (I've seen it with my own eyes).

Ego could be getting in the way here, like I said I can't speak to Ewing's character. All I know is what I've read about him seemingly belittling his players at every opportunity (McClung / Akinjo) along with that clip that went viral with him berating his player on the bench (hilariously) about taking a terrible shot.

Just my 2 cents.

It worked out so well he was fired 4 years later.
