Patrick Ewing fired

[Boston Vol]

Not that this is a surprise, but newsworthy nonetheless.

 

[Pennheel]

Yeah, not surprising given his track record. An example of a program holding on way too long to a player out of loyalty to what he brought them over 40 years ago. Time to move on.

 

[GreveHaller]

cue "racist fire" in 3.....2......1.......

 

[RDU VOL#14]

Had to be done.

 

[RollinVol]

had to be done. But Georgetown feels like it’s just now a cellar program and no hope forward. I’d make Jay Wright or Billy Donovan say no to a massive check

 

[VolPack22]

Should have had a Snickers.

I think they try to get Rick Pitino from Iona for a quick fix.

Rick definitely has a reputation of doing things quickly.

That’s what Texas should do.

I doesn’t take Rick long

Both under the table and over the table.

Good. Don't like him. Didn't like John Thompson either.

This is usually what happens when someone( besides Johnny) comes marching home. Now a legend at GU has his reputation segmented into " we love the player" and "but, we hate the coach". This is why I'm glad Peyton Manning just took his legacy and keeps it. The odds of being a high level winning coach to please fans long term is slim to none.

But nobody ever said a word about Tee. When he fits what you describe to the letter.

Assistants get to rest under the protective umbrella of the Head scapegoat.

LOVED John Thompson.

Big East hoops was appointment TV back in the 80s, and Georgetown was the main attraction.

 

[volfanhill]

Why?

 

[sjt18]

Why?

Didn't like them before Thompson's racism was reported on... and definitely not after.

 

[VOLnMiami]

I think they try to get Rick Pitino from Iona for a quick fix.

They have no interest in Pitino.

 

[Lawrence Wright]

Why?

I have a theory, but will choose to remain silent.

 

[peaygolf]

Lou Carnaseca, Ray Meyer, John Thompson

I can only imagine how corrupt St John’s, DePaul, and Georgetown were when these guys were coaching……

 

[05_never_again]

Why has G'town so bad for a while now? They aren't mediocre...they're awful. They've made 2 NCAATs since 2014. Ewing was not a good coach, but they began fading under JTIII.

It's sad, because they historically are a great program.

 

[Through_The_T]

Georgetown still feels like a very good job. DC, Maryland, Virginia recruiting is good for bball.

Just unsure what type of facilities and investment they're willing to make in to the program.
