I’m just here to give Patrick Ewing his flowers.

Georgetown was picked to finish dead last in the Big East (behind DePaul)

Had multiple defections from Akinjo, Mclung, etc

Caught Covid and had to miss part of the season
And now




NBA executives really didn’t believe this guy couldn’t coach?

 

[JoseLuisGotcha]

It’s a travesty he hasn’t gotten a job in the league yet

 

[get these nets]

Restoring the old school Big East feeling.
Coach Thompson passed away recently, NO WAY Ewing's team would go out like chumps this year.

The guy is one of the best during his time spend several years on coaching staffs and count not get a job, just plain racism.

what does that have to do with anything?

you have people who never played in the NBA becoming successful coaches

In terms of Xs and Os, and understanding the game of basketball how many people would know more than one of the most accomplished players in the history of the sport?

How that would translate into coaching might be something else, but to me it's always been odd that such a brilliant basketball mind hasn't been utilized as a head coach.

not really
he hasnt done a great job at gtown, the team has been way too inconsistent , even this year

they will beat ranked opponents like creighton or nova one week and then lose to butler or depaul the next

The only reason I can fathom why Patrick hasn’t gotten a NBA shot is because of his style of coaching. Georgetown under Patrick still plays a old school two big man system (Jamarko Pickett & Wahab and next year Mutuombo & Wahab) so that may hurt him.

That being said I’m pretty sure Georgetown will extend Patrick for a couple more years considering they already gave him a historic contract for his first one.
