Also, what is Ewing's huge fixation on rebounding? No matter what happens in a game and what the rebounding results are, that's always where he seems to go. Rebounds are great, but when you can't convert them into points or stop the other team from scoring at will.....they aren't the most important thing to be worried about. It’s pretty clear he gets a sheet of the stats postgame and his responses lean heavily on whatever the sheet says. Rebounds and turnovers are usually the ones he talks about. This is exactly right. If you’re looking for depth, Ewing isn’t the guy.

Wow! He’s definitely a Hoya lifer! He does not mention that his Final Score prediction of Butler 83, Georgetown 70 would be a close game in Pat’s view. His experience with the GU Athletic Dep confirms all that we know and/or have heard about the TAC and its relationship with the AD. It’s a must-read embarrassment.

The inside baseball portion of that writeup is definitely the more juicy portion but this rings super-true after watching 5.5 years of Ewing - especially the talent portion of it for the people who equate losses to the idea that this roster has no talent rather than the idea that coaching really really really matters in college basketball :

Another pathetic Patrick Ewing milestone: In his first 100 Big East games, Patrick Ewing has won just 30 games for an unacceptable .300 BE coaching record.

His point was that a good offramp would be for Georgetown to make it publicly understood that this is Ewing's last year and he'll be stepping down / not coaching next year so fans don't revolt. The problem is, this program has lived for 50 years on the idea that they don't owe a public explanation for anything to anyone. How many comments did we get on Dante Harris? What's the deal with Ryan Mutombo? How many public comments did we get out of Lee Reed or Jack DeGioia on the future of Georgetown Basketball after 0-20? Making something like this "publicly understood" is so far outside their DNA that I don't know how you suggest it as a possibility.

Broken down by 3's/Mid-range/Restricted area By comparison, according to Hoops Math, 37.9% of Georgetown's shots are two point jumpers. And only 25.1% of our shots are threes. Ewing is playing a 1980s game in 2023.

Our program motto should be the same as the title of my all-time music album: No Guru, No Method, No Teacher.
