If they have actually stopped practicing, Ewing’s office should be packed up and he should be perp walked out of the TAC.

Yes, right before his wife filed for divorce… Ewing engaged in a sex act when he was playing in the NBA. Pitino did his dirt while coaching at Louisville. Not that I really care, it is a stupid discussion, but you are being disingenuous when you try to equivocate between the two misdeeds. Anyway, my issue with Pitino isn't the fact that he is damaged goods, it's that he is someone I am quite happy to root against. I can't do the Kevin Durant "I'm your biznatty" routine from a few years back. If and when we change coaches, we don't need Rick freakin Pitino... gross! Why don’t we all pull out a dictionary and look up the word equivocate? It does not mean draw equivalency as so many seem to think…

Maybe the kid has an undisclosed injury. He is all set to be a Ewing recruited freshman. No minutes; no development.

We should have a chance late.
That said, it is hard to imagine this team making winning plays late given roster construction and somnambulant coaching.

If NBA All Star weekend were played out in my backyard, I would not look out the window.

Can someone explain this line of reasoning that RT has some sort of lifetime contract? There is zero evidence of this. He was hired by the men's basketball coach, reports to the men's basketball coach, and is subject to be retained or terminated by the men's basketball coach each June 30. The lines of authority are clearly noted on the athletic department staff directory. What am I missing here? guhoyas.com/staff-directoryDisagree. You make Ronny sound as a regular basketball program employee; the same one that wasn’t listed in any directory until recently when another site started to call him, the AD and the University out to reveal if Ronny was involved and in what capacity. Ronny wasn’t hired for his merits, and Pat didn’t recruit him or Pat would’ve said so in various interviews when describing his first days after accepting JT2’s gift to lead the Hoyas. In the summer of 2017, Ronny was given a salary because he’s JT2’s son and he was out of a job. Why would that gift have a definite number of years? The position was created for him and was never defined for purposes of an org chart or directory, until recently. It’s similar to when in The Godfather movie series a position was created for Freddo because he believed he deserved a position in the family business. If that has changed now with the Chief of Staff announcement, then he might have a regular employee agreement as you suggest. As the other poster said, I believe it will take more than regular severance pay to get rid of him. It will take dynamite or a spinal implant in 2nd Healy…

EXACTLY! You've got to find the kids that will work with your system. Pat has never been able to identify that. With that being said, why wouldn't he have left after last year? It was clear as day he can't or isn't connecting and has never built out a roster. I honestly think this thing was over the day Gardner, LeBlanc, Alexander & company torpedoed the season & roster. That was a wrap on coach Pat. I don’t think Pat knows or can identify what works for his “system”, esp. when his “system” doesn’t work for college basketball. His system is kind of like the chicken’s system right after its head is lopped off…

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. Perhaps they meant “Coach E Meritless”…

I think people are sleeping a bit on just how high a candidate Brey will likely end up being in an assumed Gtown coaching search. He checks a lot of boxes I'd think JDG will covet. 1. Long time Head coaching experience with a near .650 overall winning %. Multiple elite eight appearances. 2. Long time experience coaching at a catholic institution where relationships matter. 3. Originally from DC area (attended and coached at Dematha). 4. History of recruiting DMV fairly well. 5. Personality to bridge the Ewing years without stepping on toes. I can understand a lot of the trepidation the fan base would have about a mid 60s coach who just stepped down because the program is on the decline. But I do think a re-energized Brey with his DMV recruiting connections would make Gtowns floor a lot higher than most other hires outside of a Pitino or Beard. Just say no to Count Chocula disciples….

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.

I must say his ability to absolve himself as Coach for his God awful roster construction and retention problems is amazing.
It is almost as if he does not comprehend that he is also the GM of this clown show.

Sorry ... my eyes don't bleed when I watch those teams. That's the key point. It is not just that we are bad. It is that we play playground basketball in the sloppiest manner any of us have ever seen on the major college level. If we were running real schemes on both ends and just did so badly - we would be like these other bad teams. But what we do with our completely undisciplined, untouched playground style - is an insult to the game. This is what puts this Hoya team in a tragic class by itself. Could not agree more. Grade School CYO teams have a better approach and sense of discipline and identity.

$18.6 million. Seems pretty smart to me. He’s a thief. He’s despicable. He is not a thief. He is proof positive of the Peter Principle. The problem is that Jack is still a fanboy wearing his Hoyas Underoos and can’t pull the trigger on dumping him and the whole lot of Thompson detritus we call a basketball program.

Holloway seems to have taken pity or wants Ewing to keep his job Every opposing Coach wants him right where he is, giving them each 2 breathers every year.

Maybe just maybe not being able to break even 40 points can shame him out Money will always trump shame for any Big John acolyte…
