Patrick Ewing gone…

[UConnSwag11]

They already got their coach. Cooley

 

[REB1094]

Pitino? And then a few really good recruits will magically commit to GTown

 

[Hi-Low]

They already got their coach. Cooley

Boeheim can go coach Providence if Cooley leaves. Would be like when Calhoun took over St Joe's...Prov is very similar to a div 3 program.

Georgetown fires head coach Patrick Ewing after 6 seasons

Georgetown went a combined 13-50 with a 2-37 record in the Big East over the past two seasons.

Damn.

 

[Hi-Low]

Ewing was a monster player in college & pros....Patrick Ewing! Enjoy retirement you earned it.

 

[Huskybass]

28 and 81 in the Big East. Ouch!

 

[RichCTBB]

At least his termination was handled better than the picker

 

[gsmooth]

Makes me sad. I really wanted Ewing to be successful at Georgetown. I mean he is the symbol and figurehead of the Big East And he seems like an all around good guy. A good Georgetown team is great for the Big East. But he had to go, it simply was not working out, SMH

 

[Chin Diesel]

Is Ralph Dalton replacing him?

I have nothing against Boeheim. He is friends with Calhoun. However, Ialso don’t like the way he handled things on his end. He could have said some encouraging things about Adrian Autry and shown him more support . He made everything about him and only him.

The big east needs a good Georgetown and st johns…

 

[Hey Adrien!]

I want Georgetown to be good again and this is the first step.

 

[gsmooth]

I want Georgetown to be good again and this is the first step.

And that is what makes me sad. Georgetown becoming good again and Ewing coaching them are mutually exclusive

 

[Fishy]

I don‘t care if Georgetown ever wins another game.

But I feel badly for Ewing. Unlike almost every other NBA player who became a college coach, he actually wanted to do the job. Unfortunately, he was really, really bad at it.

 

[Ratso]

 

[Palatine]

He has tens of millions of dollars to console him.

 

[That Guy]

They should hire Chris Beard or Will Wade if they're serious about winning again.

 

[Sole]

Maybe Georgetown will be like Tulane … and instead just going though the motions… get serious and hire someone who will win.. I always like Ewing … but they should have let him go after last year

 

[HeGotGame]

It is going to be Cooley.

I wish it was Pitino but it won't be as long as DeGioia is President.

 

[storrsroars]

Allen Iverson could use a paycheck. Kids will love him. "Practice?"

 

[metsfan2323]

James Jones having another great season in the Ivy league. That guy can flat out coach.

 

[Valleyfan]

Feel badly for Patrick. A total class act. The Big East can use a good Hoya team.

 

[PNolanFan]

Pitino, with Georgetown's endowment fund backing him would be scary

Difference between all of those things and being an effective coach.

As long as its not Kimani.

Would like to share in some positively sending Ewing off.

As a Huskies and Boston C's fan, I was always rooting for Ewing to fail on the court against my teams. However, there are some who forget really a great of a player he was. In a way, he was Shaq long before Shaq came around... just a freak of nature at the time. Now, there at re several guys as big as Ewing or bigger. But he was also an athlete. He could run, jump and a pretty good shooter for a big man in his era.

Friends of mine down in NYC for the BET texted me that the talk down there is Pitino is going to Georgetown. I don't see it. Wouldn't he rather take the St. John's job instead?

Patrick was unbelievable as a player. A 7 footer who could shoot from the perimeter like that was amazing. Unfortunately he was on bad teams.

Cooley isn‘t going to Georgetown. That would be like Calhoun leaving UConn for St. John’s.

They need to find a competent young coach who has been successful. Pat Kelsey should be on their list.
