Message: [QUOTE="gtcam, post: 3549524, member: 2844"] Nobody but Ewing and McClung knows the story I have and will always be a member of Pat Ewing's camp - the guy was an outstanding player without being a jerk while opponents tried to bring the worst out of him I know someone who is a close good friend with him in Boston and got to meet and interact with him a few times in a relaxed atmosphere during his very early pro years - very unassuming and he loved to blend in with the crowd (hard to do as a 7 footer). As far as a coach - most guys in the pros who played while he was an assistant have high praise for him. I look at the job he did this past season when 1/2 his team was facing disciplinary and academic issues that forced him to play with a skeletal roster - I was impressed as were most basketball people.
