Probably ... more a recruiter at UCLA then didn't seem to know what to do with the talent.

How would we feel, if, we were in SJU's shoes. We'd just come off another disappointing season with seemingly no direction and no plan. Some top names are out there, but surprisingly, Georgetown hires Patrick Ewing. Obviously THE Hoya of all time but he has no head coaching experience and certainly no college hoops coaching experience. The average 16 year old recruit has heard of him, but certainly hasn't watched him play. How would we feel about this hire? My guess is we'd all being excited but nervous. Huge upside but imagine the downside if he fails? Is there a day when we are booing Ewing and asking if his seat is hot? I think this is how SJU fans feel right now. (Obviously, this is all based on the scenario that JTIII was never born and therefore could not have been our coach.) Yup. Nailed it. Thanks for pulling this out of the archives. I honestly can't believe I wrote this! I grew up in NY rooting for Mullin and the Johnnies. That all changed when I went to Georgetown. Crazy enough, my nephew plays lacrosse at Yale and I was on the SJU campus earlier this week to see their game. Got a chance to walk into Carneseca Arena and check out the trophies and stories. I would kill for an arena like that on our campus. It is going to be an absolutely crazy game when the Hoyas play the Johnnies this season.
