Could there be a better definition of “win win” than clearing the Ronny cost?

Nova loses by 8 to Butler, now 8-10 in their first year under Kyle Neptune. He is looking like a disastrous hire. I don’t recall a coaching search. Just said this is the guy (Sounds familiar). Only thing that adds up is Jay decreed it.

He has a contract. That’s his leverage. And, given what we know, the idea that he will somehow resign, out of shame, embarrassment, or loyalty, oblivious to the fact that that is what everyone but he and Falk wants is naïve.

Let’s be real here. Ewing has convinced Jack he can go on another miracle BET run which would vindicate them both. He can point to the pre Covid break results and Jack will happily stay the course. Except that even another BE run (which we all know ain’t happenin’) would not vindicate either of them.

While he would be a horrid candidate, I like that a national figure would put this out there on Twitter: In fairness to Jay Williams he criticized the hiring of Ewing not recently but from day one.

If this keeps up we may get to the point that DeGioia will not have plausible deniability about never having heard of Pitino.

So a school that has had Black coaches for 45 of the last 50 years would be susceptible to (or concerned about) charges of racism because they made a judgment that the best person to be the next head coach was not Black? Preposterous.

Will be interesting to see what the spread will be. 20+ point dog? largest in modern program history? Anyone with Ken Pom know what his predicted score is? 86-62 (uh, we’re the 62).

Every day that passes I am becoming more and more convinced that we are seeing the long, slow, painful death of Georgetown hoops as we know it. I, for one, am quite OK with the death of Georgetown hoops as we know it.

There is a key line in this all that people seem to have glossed over: "..but we put a good deal of support around him." That to me, was the biggest tell in the whole thing. The excuses are nonsense, but that one line made me think he knows this hasn't been acceptable/will make a change. In his mind Ronny Thompson is probably one who provides much of that “support”. Good Lord!

“No one has been working harder to turn this thing around than him. And if it can be done, I think he can do it. “ This is the Georgetown’s problem in a nutshell. A President who never worked anywhere else, says that a basketball coach who never would be hired anywhere else is just the guy to turn the program around, “if it can be done.” It’s like there is no world outside of Georgetown and solutions can only come from inside. And if those solutions fail, well, they tried and “it can’t be done.” I do think it’s telling however that DiGioia spent so much time talking about the NCAA. I wonder if his time as chair has made him hesitant to make changes to the program in light of all the uncertainty about where college athletics is headed, and whether it offers a future to GU Exactly who is it that should be “working harder than (he)”?

Is that posthumous permission really required? Should it be?

Maybe all the people who were whining about how he never got an NBA head coaching job now realize there was a reason for that.

Didn’t think it was possible but we might be worse than last year.

In tonight’s 23 point loss to Charlotte their only double figure scorer was PG Sam Sessoms, late of Penn St., with 24.

This game and the next one are impossible games to lose. These teams make 2021 Dartmouth look like UCLA from the 60s. Actually, we can take credit for that.
