I don't think there's any chance Wahab and Ezewiro will start together. Who exactly do those guys guard in the modern college game? If you’re good, the opponent worries about how they’re going to guard you. I get your point though. We saw that with Brandon/Primo's team when they faced 6-7 Dante Bass/6-11 270 Noel Brown/6-9 guy's team. Brandon's team (with Brandon at power forward) team was just too small to stop Brown/Bass/6-9 guy. We had a similar issue last year with no real center and Aminu playing out of position as an undersized power forward.

It’s really hard to overcome incompetent leadership. That is not THE default position, it is YOUR default position. Any notion that Ewing is not a strong leader is entirely limited to you and a handful of other haters.

Any notion that Ewing is not a strong leader is entirely limited to you and a handful of other haters. Ewing's record speaks for itself. Most observers of college basketball agree that he's one of the worst coaches in the sport. Why do you think the sports books expect Georgetown to finish last in the Big East?

My mistake - I forgot my own "don't feed the trolls" imperative. You just keep doing you.

I really am curious for his answer, plus would like to see a HoyaTalk poll (like the old days) to see how posters really feel instead of seaweed pretending the other posters are outliers, but OK…

Not being a good coach and not being a good leader are not necessarily linear. You can be a great leader and a bad coach....before the Ewing haters comment, actually think Ewing is a above average coach.

So you think he's an above average coach but a poor leader, that's what you're implying? On what do you base that he's an above average coach? Because his record and lack of accomplishments 5+ years into his career certainly wouldn't indicate that.

What information are you looking for? How our players ended up or which teams won X number of games or made it to the playoffs? You’ll have to wade through pages of back and forth posts to answer the former or wait for a hoyatalker more knowledgeable than me for the latter 😂
