OT: JT III Out at Gtown

[Dogdeacon]

Didn't he turn down Kentucky while he was at Florida? The Big 10 is a much tougher conference than the SEC was then, or now, imo. But I guess Saban "returned" to college and it obviously worked out.

It is harder to succeed immediately in the pros, I guess. I could see him winning right away at IU.

Exactly, if you are BillyD with that mindset you absolutely would have taken Kentucky but didn't. I've heard him interviewed this year and I think he likes the fact that at the NBA level its about basketball only.
As a bonus at the annual Pitino coaching tree dinner its fun for BillyD to rub the NBA success in his former bosses face, even if that face misses the jab most years because its made during the 15 seconds Ricky is in the bathroom with that night's conquest.

Ewing already in the running.

Sources: Georgetown to consider Patrick Ewing for head-coaching position

Good luck with that.

The coach at Arkansas, Mike Anderson, would probably be a good replacement.

I think you are right. But just for fun what if all the former BE schools hired alumni, we aren't far off..
St. John's - Mullin
Georgetown - Ewing
UConn - Ollie, but need to add Ray Allen to staff
Villanova - Jay Wright leaves for NBA, hire Kerry Kittles
Providence - Assuming Marvin Barnes is still dead, Eric Murdock will do
Syracuse - Hiring Carmelo Anthony puts Knicks fans out of their misery
Pittsburgh - I'm torn between Jerome Lane, Demetrious Gore and Brian Shorter
Seton Hall - Andrew Gaze, if Australia is too far Anthony Avent

Pitt - Orlando Antigua

Brey to Georgetown would be interesting.

Brey grew up about five minutes from Georgetown and went to DeMatha.

That was a long time ago, but home is home.

Like that school would even entertain that. They are so PC at GU It would shock me if a minority is not hired.
