Ewing is a man of few words which he repeats over and over. Mostly the same cliches. Can’t wait to have a coach that has something of value to say in huddles and press conferences.

We hired JT2 50 years ago which set off a domino effect that hopefully ends soon. We can no longer milk the glory days which are so far behind in the rearview mirror. Need a clean break and look to the future.

Not a great game to be at if you’re a GU fan ☹️

Nova is up 20 and kids are diving for loose balls

We’re playing like we don’t belong in this league. Embarrassing!

Our starters are going to run out of gas by the second half

Nova has something at stake, we don’t

My guess is that JDG goes with fit, feel & DEI over sheer track record and upside, so Cooley>Pitino.

Anything could happen, but I just don’t see a run this year. 🤔

Cooley is a safe pick, but will never get you past the first weekend of the NCAAs. Better than where we are today, but not where we want to go.

Would Cooley retain Ronny? Any coach who comes and retains any of our current staff will not succeed, including Cooley. You don’t keep anything from 0-20 & 2-18. If you do, you’re not our guy.

What 2003 said plus the years since Louisville and the exculpatory events (IARP exoneration, time in Greece, last 3 years at Iona (vetting by another Catholic college), intense NCAA scrutiny the whole time) make snide jokes dated and out of touch. As I've argued ad nauseum, he's done his time and earned a second chance, and I think deserves to have the past put behind him and not retried over and over. When we bring up sordid details for a quick joke, we run the chance of reprosecuting him in the court of public opinion, which sucks and isn't fair. I want to be better than that. I think it's what we -- at Georgetown, as it is at Iona -- should live out those values of forgiveness and redemption. (Plus, I don't want that kind of stuff out there to sow any doubt in the minds of anyone who has influence in the decision of who our new head coach will be.) Gtown admin should definitely take in consideration his past actions. You seem vested in keeping the program in the family, like you or a loved one has a financial connection to the program. You want the program to succeed, but under very certain conditions.

Now that Syracuse is not in the league 🤣 Are you counting Laurie Fine as a stripper? That would be a YES

Pinto could eventually get you to an Elite Eight. Upside with Cooley is first weekend of NCAAs. Both better than where we are today. Higher ceiling with Pitino.

If we don't get Pitino, there won't be a roster -- no holdovers, no transfers, no recruits. If we do "get" Pitino there's a good chance we'll lead the Big East in strippers hired Now that Syracuse is not in the league 🤣

I wonder if Nickelberry and Murray are yet another packed deal.

I believe Pitino would have gotten 5 to 7 BE wins out of this group

If Pitino comes, he’s not keeping this roster. He will build his own team. There is nothing from 0-20 & 2-18 worth saving. Burn the memory

It would be unfathomable if Ewing & RT are left with any role after the past two years of rewriting the BE record books.
