The assistant was forced on Ewing. And Pat’s trusted Lieutenant, Louis Orr was forced out (and subsequently died). Pat has not had control of this team all year because there has been this assistant has been sabotaging and giving opposite instructions which confuses the players. The insiders had noticed this early on in the season during OCC. I don’t think Pat realized this till it was too late, as usually the person you hide things from is the last to find out. If this is true, The Shadowy figure who orchestrated this will have Ewing out of the way and insert his guy. With Vito, Michael and Sonny gone, the least successful family member will have complete control of the legacy. We’ll see how things shake out in the next couple months. Hopefully we get Pitino or Beard. This is all speculative. If we’re going to run with it here, I hope there’s at least some factual basis for it. Worth noting that, to a degree, it makes Ewing a “victim.” And that is what prof has been trying to do: convince us Pat is a victim. That is total BS. He’s the head coach and the buck stops with him. In fact, he could dismiss the alleged assistant from the bench. Let the players revolt. Let’s have the Great Exodus Part 2. Pat is the best at losing players.

Exactly what he is doing but it is an impossible task. In fact, he paints Ewing as hapless, standing court side next to Nickleberry but powerless to stop the conspiracy around him.

I don't buy this whole "assistant telling the players the opposite of Ewing" stuff. Not one player said to Ewing, "Coach 'whoever it is' told me X and you are telling me Y?" One or two times of that happening and Ewing would know something was amiss. If Ronny is forcing all this on Ewing, what is his big leverage? Ewing has lost most every game....he has a big buyout and he knows he's on his way out the door. Why would he need to continue to suffer someone sabotaging him? It all makes zero sense.

Thread locked.
Way too much "he said, I heard, people who know people who know" speculation going on here.
