I feel this I have seen this movie before.

 

[CL82]

I actually don’t want Georgetown to fall apart and Ewing to be fired. He was a tangible reminder of the old big east and having a good Georgetown is immensely helpful for the Big East.

I suspect that ship has sailed though.

So is Ewing being hurt because he did the right thing?

I think he is being hurt for allowing it to lead up to him having to do the right thing.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Ewing is in a tough spot. He has a discipline issue involving multiple players and it appears there may be some gray area in this situation. No one outside the parties directly involved knows.

I didn't like the Mullins or Ewing hires. Mullins is just not a hard enough worker to be a college coach, and he got his marquee win, and quit. Ewing busts his butt, but the track record of NBA Hall of Famers in the college coaching ranks is not great.

And possibly Akinjo situation.

Is Ewing even doing the right thing? He's been continuing to play all of these kids

We’ve had our share of trouble makers. Laptops, scooters, domestics...

For the millionth time, his name is Chris Mullin.

I think that's wishful thinking for that guy

I haven't seen that anywhere else. Then again, I've done little more than a Google search for "Ewing Georgetown."

 

[McLovin]

If history has proved anything, it's that nothing can ever go wrong hiring a former player as your head coach.

Every program has it - it's comes with having kids who, in most cases, are on their own and experience a first breath of freedom and decision making on their own
Our newest star was very fortunate that he was let off with a slap on the wrist - not sure a "regular" kid on the streets of Hartford or Manchester would receive such a generous offer with multitude of offenses.

Sometimes they don't get into trouble until they get to school - so how do you know?
Do you think DH said to himself, JB looks like he could make a stupid mistake but I'll take a chance?

The Ewing and Mullen hires were pathetic attempts are re-igniting former BE glory days which are long gone. Neither has been national irrelevant for decades. Sad.

I'm not sure that is exactly what Michael Corleone said (although it's an interesting interpretation of the Cancel Culture):

 

[Citrusdog]

What was the deal with Nate Miles? I think that was his name...Was he a troublemaker that we were taking a chance on? Caron had a dicey past - but came out well. So... you can't always assume the worst. I think arrival at school could be a bit of a shock to some... and causes problems. I really don't know. But, I do believe in second chances.

gtown was on the brink of a comeback. they almost beat Duke last week and probably had the best young backcourt in the conference with akinjo and mcclung. terrence williams would have joined next year plus a better wahab. that's a good team so this is a real shame.

 

[olehead]

UConn could recruit this guy right? Referencing 247 Sports, it looks as though we were never among his strong considerations or we never pursued this guy. Must be strong academically w/ schools like Stanford, UVA, ND and Michigan among his suitors.

All the recruiting gurus have him as a Michigan lean. We don’t currently have any available scholarships. It sounds like AG might leave with the way Hurley is talking but with his relationship with TB and us having potentially big expectations for next year.. I think there’s a strong chance he’ll be back.

 

[MDeL04]

Ewing will be coaching the Knicks in no time. With (almost) back to back 40 point losses they may have a coaching vacancy before the New Year.

I am going to really miss playing ECU and USF. Really.
