Georgetown has fired men’s basketball head coach Patrick Ewing after six seasons, the school announced Thursday. He amassed a 75-108 overall record with only one winning season (2018-19) during his coaching tenure. Details:
in the opening round of the Big East tournament at Madison Square Garden, where he rose to NBA stardom with the Knicks.“No thoughts about my future,” Ewing said after the game. “The two seasons have been rough. I’m disappointed in the outcome of the last two years. My future is in the hands of our president, our athletic director and the board of trustees.”in the Big East tournament final at the Garden and earned an automatic bid in the NCAA Tournament.
He recruited OK at first, but never extremely well, and he was unable to retain his best talent for long. On the floor, what was supposed to be a breath of fresh air for fans when he arrived — proper NBA-style pace-and-space ball — ended up being totally anodyne and ineffective. Georgetown never defended, never ran good stuff, never recruited top players, never earned an at-large tournament bid or came all that close. He never did any of the things you need to do to be effective at this level. Ewing’s stature at the school made fans squeamish about saying it at times — until these past two years — but the whole thing was an embarrassing disaster engineered by Georgetown’s adherence to the John Thompson III family and built by a coach massively out of his depth.
