OT: Georgetown needs to fire Ewing.

[huskdogs]

He’s done so much damage to that program. Their run last year was a complete fluke. I’m glad Dan Hurley & the BE has rebuilt the UConn program, there’s no reason a good coaching hire can’t have GTown relevant again. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again imagine how fun this conference could be if us, nova, & gtown were consistently top 15 teams. Nova’s obviously there, were on the cusp and will be there soon, no reason gtown couldn’t join us and make this conference even better.

 

[MexicoHusky]

The Gillespie injury and the inexplicable victory against Creighton may of saved Ewing's job.

 

[aburks41]

Rick Pitino……

 

[WrenchFan69]

Rick Pitino……

I kind of believe Rick when he says he's ending his career at Iona. They should have let Ewing go and hired Wes Miller before Cincy did

 

[MJ1]

I believe the Big East tournament run last year gave Ewing a full year to show this young team can improve and make strides. If they look horrible all year he is toast.

 

[huskdogs]

Rick Pitino……

It would be funny but it would never happen. I mean at the end of the day it’s still the third best job in the conference, they shouldn’t struggle to hire a good coach.

 

[Ratso]

Penny, outside of recruiting, not much better. He has Larry brown and Rasheed Wallace as assistants and loses by 20

 

[Kolumbo]

What's Iverson doing these days. I can only imagine what their practices would be like.

 

[CL82]

I kind of believe Rick

You lost credibility at this point.

 

[huskdogs]

No more star players as coaches. Rarely works.

 

[Chief00]

Patrick is a great guy. But, like any coach he needs to win games or else.

Penny is a terrible coach.

Didn't Ewing just land a 5* recruit?

Former players always recruit well. What’s the chance the kid won’t transfer out like everyone else does there

 

[auror]

Didn't Ewing just land a 5* recruit?

Yeah he shot 0-10 tonight.

 

[jibsey]

Pitino will coach a major team again, probably next year. Some program is going to take a chance and get good pretty wuick.

 

[McLovin]

Kevin Ollie was great at recruiting (at least until he discovered he could just recruit via YouTube from Grants)

 

[gtcam]

Ewing has had his ups and downs like many coaches
The run in the NBE tournament was no fluke - he had some kids who hit their stride and they played a really nice brand of team basketball during that run. Gtown won the title, Nova, Hall, Creighton and UConn didn't.
Ewing is a stand-up guy but as Chief00 said, coaches have to win.

 

[HeGotGame]

Ours didn't

 

[UDann]

Ollie was not nearly the player Ewing was.

Nah Pitino said Iona is his last job and Rick is an honest guy.

 

[Huskyforlife]

Disagreed

 

[jibsey]

Not really concerned about what they do with Patrick. He was a helluva player though on bad teams.

In college or the NBA? Obviously not in college. And his Knicks teams were mostly pretty good after his first 3 years. And he obviously was a big part of that success. Just couldn't win the big one.

Was a Knick 1985-2000:

Why would you not be concerned? If Georgetown is better the conference is better and therefore uconn is in a better place.

He’s always going to get quality recruits because it’s Georgetown and he’s Ewing. They will not be a terrible team but if that’s the case he should go. My concern is our team not theirs and I don’t have any concern to spare.

Rick Pitino……

God I would LOVE Pitino at Georgetown. Bring it tf on.

Say whatever you want about Pitino, but the dude can freaking coach. He would also make the Big East even 10x more interesting.

I feel like Georgetown is a little too clean and prestigious to go for it though. But he'd make them a top 25 team within 1-2 years.

He'd probably make us top 5 in 2 years. I like Hurley though but Pitino can coach and finish games.

 

[MilliniumPrince]

Ewing should be an NBA coach. He think he is much better suited to coach pros than College kids.
