Patrick Ewing gone…

[prankster]

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

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.

It is going to be Cooley.

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

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.

Georgetown is a top 3 job in this conference. I’m not saying Cooley would take it, but he’d absolutely pick the phone up.

 

[UCTitleTown]

Patrick Ewing got 6 years, because he's Patrick Ewing. Anyone else would've been fired 2 or 3 years ago. Iverson would be a great Georgetown coach. Recruits could be sold on his no practice pitch.

He’s from Providence. It’s his hometown. This is his dream job. The difference in jobs with Georgetown is negligible.

 

[Hoophound]

I’d rather coach PC. The recruiting scene at the New England preps is more pleasant. Plenty of nice country drives to see prospects. Providence is a very livable city with great food, character and far fewer hassles than a large city. Aside from that, Cooley is a Providence guy.

Georgetown and SJU should fight it out for Slick Rick. The loser should hire a young up and comer.

But it is not.

The two brands are not comparable, nor is the ceiling for each program.

I understand what you are saying about Cooley, I am just saying there is a lot of smoke. Could be a move out of the Jim Harbaugh playbook just to get a raise or could have merit. We will see.

 

[uconngb]

Is Ralph Dalton replacing him?

I see what you did there

That’s like saying the difference between UConn and providence is negligible. Cooley was a candidate for our job last time, there’s a huge difference.

Georgetown is a tired, moribund program. There’s no magic there.

 

[80shusky]

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.

Agree with this. I like Ewing. He can't coach at this level though, yet. I was really hoping he'd be good.

 

[80shusky]

I heard Pitino to Georgetown from another connected individual at a college I may or may not name here. Pitino would be much better at St Johns I think. He'd have them humming in three seasons.

 

[HooperScooper]

Georgetown coaching candidates: Rick Pitino, Mike Brey among possible targets to replace Patrick Ewing

There likely will be a deep pool of candidates who will have interest in the Hoyas' job opening

They don't pay like one though.

 

[uconngb]

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

100% agree. Sad day for sure

 

[nomar]

Time to put the Ewing Theory to the test again!

 

[Greedo]

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

Beard is going to Ole Miss.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Georgetown is a top 3 job in this conference.

We’re about to find out if that’s still true.

 

[housekeys]

The big east needs a good Georgetown and st johns…

No, they don't. The BE needs a national champion. That's were UConn comes in.

 

[UCLJ0211]

I didn’t follow the program after we left the BE, but why did they get rid of John Thompson III years ago?

 

[StllH8L8ner]

Is Ralph Dalton replacing him?

The strippers he hires would be humming, that’s for sure
