Each poster will have one post to list the coaches they are okay with and those coaches who will cause you to be done with the program. Feel free to edit as you add or subtract guys from each list. (Has to be a realistically available coach and not someone like Shaka Smart or Nate Oats who would have no reason to move laterally or downgrade their status).
*this is also not the place to argue other peoples selections. Just post your selections and then maybe we will compile an aggregate of the choices,
In:
1. Ewing
2. Pitino (w/ Ewing assistant head coach emeritus)
3. Chris Beard
4. JTIII
Done with Program:
1. Nickleberry
2. Ronnie Thompson
3. James Jones
4. Mike Brey
5. Chris Mack
6. Tommy Amaker
7. Will Wade
8. Richard Pitino
9. Pat Baldwin
10. Mike Anderson
11. Leonard Hamilton

Leonard Hamilton So are you, in effect, saying you are done with the program? Should we do a final post countdown? There's no way Ewing is back.....according to you, Pitino has a 0% chance of coming (and no way Ewing stays as an assistant)......Beard is a non-starter....and JTIII isn't stepping through that door. You've kind of boxed yourself in....unless you are saying you will be back if someone you didn't mention gets the job. |

You've kind of boxed yourself in....unless you are saying you will be back if someone you didn't mention gets the job. My guess is professorhoya is not an alumnus. Having gone to Georgetown for 4 years (and loving it) and still having great admiration for the institution, it would take a lot for me to say I am done with the program. Will I be very displeased if we hire an incompetent or mediocre coach? Absolutely. But, unless we hire someone like Ronny Thompson (and I don't think Georgetown is even that negligent), I will likely convince myself of the positive aspects of whoever is chosen and hope for the best until proven otherwise. That's what I did with Ewing--I thought it was a bad choice in 2017 (and in fact made a very prescient post in February 2017 that predicted much of what has happened with Ewing), but I still tried to be optimistic. Despite my doubts, I would say I did not totally give up on Ewing even until last Big East season. To me, giving up on the program isn't easy. I like college basketball, and Georgetown is my alma mater. I am not going to just suddenly become a fan of some other team simply because they are good and we aren't. |

There are quite a few people on here that have said they will be done with the program if it’s Nickleberry or Ewing is retained or if a mediocre coach is hired. SSHoya has said he will be done with the program if James Jones is hired and may still be done with the program depending on who is hired. Similarly I’m reserving judgment if someone not on the list is hired. |

I need the trifecta of
No PE
No RT
No Thompson connection
Though sadly, this season has so destroyed my rooting interest that it will be hard to measure any appreciable loss of same.
I watch now as one might watch coverage of a natural disaster or NASCAR wreck.

Similarly I’m reserving judgment if someone not on the list is hired. Here's my definition of "done with the program" - I will not renew my season tickets and the attendant monetary contribution to the program to retain my seat location. Obviously, I will not drive from Delaware for every home game which I did last year and will also attend the last two home games this year. Will I still root for the Hoyas to win whoever the new coach is? Yes. Will I still watch the Hoyas on television or listen to Rich Chvotkin? Yes. Will I attend an occasional Hoya game at Cap One? Yes. |

I can totally see this one.
Rick Pitino, Hall of Fame coach and two time national champion, in his first announcement as Georgetown Head Coach, announced that he would retain the services of Patrick Ewing, one of the most unsuccessful coaches of modern times as well as the former coach who proved to be a repellent when trying to retain players, to be his top advisor and assistant.
Emeritus is an honorific, and one you don’t by going 1-35.

So let me get this straight. professorhoya thinks that Pitino would not take the Georgetown job because his "loyalty" and deference to Ewing, but it is realistic that Patrick Ewing would take a "coach emeritus" or assistant position TO Pitino? The Hall of Fame, and massively successful coach, would be showing deference to the horrible coach who deserves zero deference. I am not sure what world that logic lives in. The ONLY way I could see that working would be to give Ewing some sort of title (Coach Emeritus just seems too high an honor for somebody who has been such a horrible coach) to partially justify the buyout payments, and to try to smooth things over with the few people who are still high on the Thompson family. But, IF that happened, Ewing would have to have no involvement in the program beyond appearing at an event here or there. You absolutely cannot involve someone, particularly a coach as bad as Ewing, in the continued operations of a program he's driven into the ground. That makes no sense. And frankly, my guess is that if Patrick Ewing leaves after this year, he won't want to have continued involvement in our program anyway. He has to be embarrassed somewhat and he won't be leaving in good circumstances. And, his eye has always been on the NBA anyway. I know Patrick Ewing likely looked at Georgetown has a stepping stone to show his talents and then jump to the NBA. That didn't work out, obviously, and other than perhaps a token assistant type role, I see no way he will ever be a head coach in the NBA. |

Ewing couldn't hire Kevin Braswell because he was so intimidated by Braswell's previous head coaching experience. Not sure how Pitino could hire Ewing.

Maybe a better thread to put this in...
I don't think in any universe Amir Abdur-Rahim was going to be considered for the job although I think some posters (me included) really liked what he could bring to the table...but also understanding it's totally unrealistic that he was ever going from Kennesaw St to Gtown...
...but giving credit where credit is due...
First 4 seasons at Kennesaw
1-28
5-19
13-18
26-9 (Reg Season Champ, Conf Champ, NCAA's)
First Season at South Florida
19-5 (they were 14-18 last year)
Their NET is poor (92) so probably NIT versus NCAA this year but dude can build programs and create success...
