It’s more about Coach Pitino not being comfortable taking the job of his player and friend, Coach Ewing who was pushed out by Locust Club. That’s why he would not take the job unless Coach Ewing gave him his blessing. I doubt any of this is true and I’m 100% sure you have no reason to think any of it is true. I love the idea that Ewing would be “pushed out” rather than being fired for about a million different good reasons. It's the fictional "Locust Club" - has nothing to do with basketball related things like, you know, the worst Georgetown loss possibly ever (American), going 0-20 last year, constantly flipping rosters in the search of soemthing better, etc.

The idea that Pat Ewing would have any say over the guy who comes in to fix the disaster of his making is so stupid it could only come from a select few. Unfortunately, the GU admin might be among that group. It’s more about Coach Pitino not being comfortable taking the job of his player and friend, Coach Ewing who was pushed out by Locust Club. That’s why he would not take the job unless Coach Ewing gave him his blessing. As a proud, card-carrying Locust Club Member, I only wish we had the leverage to replace the Coach and save the program we love. Until then, we will continue to be the voice of reason.

Well one things for sure Theodore, Ewing is certainly in your head as evidenced by all your conspiracy theories against him and the Thompsons.

That cannot be him! He should be 29 years old by now and he isn’t a GU alum. How can he know about GU’s culture in the 70s and 80s vs what it is now if he is so young and isn’t part of GU? Remember when he tried to lie about his “decades of experience” only to have his profile birthdate show he was a twenty-something at the time?

By every objective measure, he is the worst coach at Georgetown in 50 years, and it’s not even close.

Imagine thinking the people left following this specific program now want to tear down a coach because he's black.
This program is intertwined, or at least was, with the black community. Specifically in DC. I think that has been a terrific part of this program. It's why a lot of people did or still root for it.
The race baiting now will be foolish and not worth a response - especially considering a large portion of us would have been thrilled for this program to be handed over to a promising, young black coach like Dennis Gates or Kyle Neptune who could have considerably improved the on court product (Neptune maybe more TBD but you get the point. Meanwhile you couldn't have created a coaching candidate in a lab better than Gates for Georgetown) - while keeping that connection and providing an opportunity for an up and coming black coach.

That’s a Trump card for the few but loud Thompson/Ewing Family-over-Georgetown crowd. No one here has mentioned race/sex/nationality/etc… as a prerequisite for a coaching position. We want the best candidate and know we can pay him/her/they as merited.

The next coach should have no ties to the university. Keeping it in the family is a recipe for mediocrity. See JT2 or other GU sports.

Just ignore them because they are not actually supporting the actual team and at this point, nothing will change their minds

If the coach were white, we’d be just fine with this.

There's always gonna be ~5% of the fanbase who can't "get" that, or who are more loyal to JT2's legacy than they are to Georgetown and so argue otherwise. But hopefully the vast majority of people can agree that the next head coach CANNOT be from the Thompson tree. Would guess that the the 5 % cited likely comprised mostly of non-alumni (whereas Nationwide Nolan an example of a non-alumnus whose interests in the future welfare of the program [and not some cult of personality fetish / worship] reflects the spirit of most alumni on here). As someone who championed Gates, he's now 8 - 0 in his inaugural season in Columbia - last night against Wichita State, the Tigers w/stood 2 Shockers runs: 16 - 0 and 14 - 3 in the second half to win in overtime in KS. The roster only has 3 holdovers from the prior Cuonzo Martin era. Also -

Pitino has no chance Those that think the lack of support for Ewing is racial need to put the card back in the deck. Wrong game. But hey let’s pull the card whenever/wherever/whomever

But hey let’s pull the card whenever/wherever/whomever Of the very few posters who continue to adhere with cult-like devotion to the family and the Coach, I recall only one in the last year who played the race card. I'm not going to mention him by name. Of course, it is deeply insulting and wrong-headed. The others, and you know who they are, will not even agree to set a bar against which this Coach's performance can be measured. They will find some kernel of improvement to justify their continued support in even another winless BE season.
