Two tournaments and he's won a game in each appearance. At a discount: Dave Leitao: $1,365,974 nonprofitlight.com/il/chicago/depaul-university 2017/18 ACADEMIC YEAR Patick Ewing: $4,000,000* *Article from 2017: www.ibtimes.com/patrick-ewing-georgetown-salary-how-much-will-new-hoops-coach-be-paid-lead-hoyas-2520002“ While no official salary figures were immediately announced, rumor was that Georgetown was offering compensation in the neighborhood of $4 million annually, according to Sports Illustrated. If true, that would immediately launch Ewing, who has never been a head coach on any level, among the game's top paid coaches. JT3 was paid about $3.6 million a year, and that was after he had success as Princeton University's head coach for four seasons. Ewing returns to Georgetown without any head coaching experience, but the school's athletic officials were likely hoping his ties to the professional game would rejuvenate the program's recruiting efforts to lure top high school talent to the campus, as Thompson did for many years.” Surely GU and Ewing can pay premium for a defensive strategist and a local recruiting assistant. Would you take JT3 back at a discount, much like Depaul did with Leitao?

Would you take JT3 back at a discount, much like Depaul did with Leitao? If Pat does not workout or is so successful that he leaves to accomplish his dream of head coaching in the NBA, I would like to see a true national search. Any coach coming here would know that, if successful, GU could pay a Top 10 salary. From that article on best coaching jobs in the BE: 1. Georgetown (63) –
Where they win: “It’s the best job in the league because it has everything you need. So many players locally, big-time resources, a new practice facility and tradition. Sure, they haven’t been good lately – but there’s a reason a ton of guys were interested in the job when it opened up last year. It’s a gold mine.” – Big East assistant
The knock: “There’s really not much that you don’t have at your disposal. There hasn’t been much energy at Capital One Arena, and it’s probably too big for Georgetown – especially when they aren’t winning. The only other thing has been the Thompson family, and the perception that Big John runs everything over there. That didn’t help when they were trying to hire a coach.” – Big East coach
If done properly, we could get the best not named Wright, K, and another handful of usual suspects. After all, it’s a gold mine in more ways than one and the mentioned perception has passed.

I would like to see the Hoyas get a win. They certainly need something positive to go their way right now in a weird season. We just aren’t very good right now. I’ll be pulling for them nonetheless.

Beat Depaul and give the fans some hope. No more excuses--the transfers, the lack of talent, not athletic enough--wait until next year's saviors arrive. So tired of the excuses. Not looking for another post-game news conference to inform of the obvious--- too many TOs, not defending well enough, losing focus and not hitting their shots or that practices are good but not execution in games. Fans can see the problems. Coaches are hired to find the solutions. Wait until next year is the mantra of losing programs and certainly not for those of us who are older fans.
Hoyas had enough talent to play a half against Nova and Marquette and 3/4ths of a game against West Virginia and Butler. They showed they can run an offense with ball movement for part of the game. Even have seen moments when this team actually looks like they can play acceptable defense. When things go south in a game--adjust and keep adjusting to find which players can execute. Fans need at least hope for improvement. This glass is no longer half full--it's almost empty.

Suppose we get run off the court tonight, would that be a bridge too far for some of the Ewing defenders? I just wonder what it will take for more people to see this disaster for what it really is.

GAMEDAY!!! Let's get one in the W column and stay out of the BE basement. A tie for 8th sounds better then 11th. Would love to just see a 40 minute game from everyone...start strong and no collapses. To achieve that, we need to make sure that Blair isn't 35+ minutes deep down the stretch. Rotate through the bigs to see who is playing well. Pickett is eventually going to have a game where his shots go down and hopefully it is tonight. Everyone needs to trust their teammates and move the ball for the best shot. No reason a shot in the first 10 seconds of the shot clock is better then one in the last 10 seconds. No reason to hold the ball for 3 seconds sizing up the guy guarding you. Don't let the defense get set. We know what we are going to get from Blair and Qudus, we need a consistent 3rd scorer to step up into double digits.
This is a tough game for Pat, it's winnable so he's going to want to play his experienced guys. At the same time, pretty much everyone around the program is urging more PT for the young guys and this game could be a great opportunity, but at the risk of a win. Hopefully everyone who gets minutes contributes and the young guys can get minutes without the risk of a loss.
GO HOYAS!!

If you don’t beat DePaul at home, I don’t know where the wins are going to come from.

Yeah, I know, I was at that game. But, it seems like all past sins have been wiped away so I’m wondering what it will take for the performance this year to start to become a problem. Seems as if nothing that happens this year will matter but there has to be something, right?

Seems as if nothing that happens this year will matter but there has to be something, right? The something for me would be a total off the court collapse and losing members of the recruiting class. Everyone knew this year was going to be bad on the court unless Pickett, Q, and Blair all performed at all-conference levels.
