Patrick Ewing Gets Major Endorsement For Coaching Gig

... — other than Bill Cartwright — tends to be the guards they think about,” Van Gundy said. “I don’t mean this as a knock on anybody, but they’ll go hire guys with no coaching experience and you’ve got a Hall of Fame player with years and years and years of coaching experience in the league and they won’t hire him.”. In addition to knowledge and experience, Ewing’s ties to his alma mater make him a no-brainer. And all that would help recruiting, Van Gundy said. “On top of just Patrick being there, the support he’s going to get from Alonzo Mourning and Dikembe Mutombo, Sleepy Floyd going back. All the greats. Patrick’s beloved by all those people,” Van Gundy said. “He’s got the full package. He’s got the connection to the school, he’s got the coaching ability, he’s got the name recognition that will get him in any home in America recruiting and allow him to close the deal with just about anybody.”.

Georgetown Is Taking A Big Gamble In Hiring Patrick Ewing

... of the lockout as the head of the NBA players union. “I think it’s a legitimate discussion,” said Esherick, of Ewing’s lack of college experience. “But I also think he’s a quick study.”. What should concern Georgetown fans about the importance of Ewing’s staff is how the school has not proved a traditional incubator for assistant coaches. Would an established assistant with strong D. C. ties like Miami’s Chris Caputo, Syracuse’s Adrian Autry or Louisville’s Kenny Johnson leave the stability of their current situations to roll the dice on working for Ewing? Georgetown has a poor track record of keeping and developing assistant coaches, as in recent years they’ve left for places like Rutgers (David Cox), Nebraska (Kenya Hunter) and LSU (Robert Kirby). And that brings us back to the most compelling part of this hire, the implied institutional decision that Georgetown still wants John Thompson Jr. holding a strong influence on the program. The specter of Thompson hovering over the program proved scary to established potential coaches. And the specter of further alienating Thompson after they fired his son also proved scary to Georgetown. “This is no doubt the result of a ...

Lebron James Apologizes For Tiff With Tristan Thompson

... about defensive coverages on Paul George, who scored 16 consecutive Pacers points at one point in overtime and finished with 43 points. James, who had 41 points, 16 rebounds and 11 assists, was George's primary defender, but the Pacers were running plays that forced Thompson to switch to George. Moments after Cavs forward Kevin Love hit a key 3-pointer for a four-point lead with 26 seconds left, euphoria on the Cavs' bench was zapped when James and Thompson went back and forth. James yelled at Thompson as they were walking to the bench and waved off coach Tyronn Lue when he attempted to calm James' down. Thompson snapped back at James, exchanging words in the huddle throughout a timeout. Immediately after the game, James expressed remorse. "I have to do a better job of not showing up my teammates out on the floor. I had the right intentions in my mind, but I had the wrong intentions come out of my mouth," ...

Chris Mullin And Patrick Ewing Jr. Get Into Heated Exchange Video

... us. Obviously there’s been a huge rivalry over the last 40 years. It was great that we came together as a team.”. Mullin let his team know how much of a rivalry Georgetown and St. John’s have had. “He definitely talked about it a lot,” Ponds said. “This is a big rivalry so we just wanted to come out and get it done.”. Mullin said the incident came down to two competitive teams. “Close game like that, the whole team is going to lose, their season is over,” he said. “And I think it was just really competitive juices flowing towards the end of the game there. But initially I just went out there to see because I saw Marcus (Lo Vett) fall into the stands and that’s it.”. Mullin was asked what he said to Ewing after the game. “I asked if he was going to beat me up like his father did,” Mullin said. “He said ‘No, I love you.’ So I said ‘OK.’. “Just tremendous respect there. There really is. And it was nothing more than competitive juices, nothing more than that — ...

Why Ex-knick Patrick Ewing Makes Perfect Sense To Be Next Georgetown Coach

... Vertical pointed out on Thursday, Ewing has remained committed to being an NBA coach. In past, Charlotte associate HC Patrick Ewing held no interest in NCAA jobs. Perhaps G'town gives him pause, but he's been committed to NBA. - Adrian Wojnarowski (@Woj Vertical NBA) March 23, 2017. But this program could be the one with enough emotional attachment to change that. Chris Mullin vs. Ewing. - Zach Braziller (@NYPost_Brazille) March 23, 2017. If you're an old-school Big East fan, how much fun would St. John's vs. Georgetown be with two of the best college players in history manning the sideline? That's must-watch television for a conference that hasn't been that in a long time. Time could be running out. Ewing shouldn't be thinking like this, but we can be honest about his plight to become an NBA head coach: Time may be running out. Pat Ewing would've likely been hired as Kings coach if Dave Joerger didn't become available; made strong impression in Memphis process too. - Adrian Wojnarowski (@Woj Vertical NBA) March 23, 2017. As leagues go younger with head coaches and hire directly from the crop of players ( Derek Fisher ) or broadcasters ( Steve Kerr ), the methodical, ...

Georgetown Hoyas Head Coaching Search

... sums up exactly why. It's been my impression. that they allow for communication between schools and coaches, while allowing deniability. Example #1: "I have had no discussion with Georgetown or any other school about their open coaching position.". Example #2: "We have not contacted any currently employed coach about the position.". Example #3: "The only AD and President I have spoken to are my own.". Posted by CO_Hoya on Mar 29, 2017 | 9:57 AM up reply unrec (24). To see this in action, look no further than Rhode Island coach Danny Hurley’s quote yesterday. . @Rhody MBB HC @dhurley 15 on other potential schools asking about him - "The only AD and President I have spoken to are my own". — Gio and Jones (@Gio And Jones) March 29, 2017. Though I have no information to back it up, it’s also possible that using an search firm was a demand from Nike, which could have requested this independent party get involved in order to assuage its own Board (on which John Thompson, Jr. sits and is the longest tenured Director) if and when it discusses its contract with Georgetown moving forward. There is a question as to when ...

Pusha T On Patrick Ewing, Spike Lee, 90s Knicks

... Scoop B Radio Overtime. Check Out Brandon ‘Scoop B’ Robinson and Pusha T. What stood out to King Push the most was both the synergy of movie director, Spike Lee and Patrick Ewing. Lee, a lifer and courtside seat holder at MSG had the constant dialogue with player’s from opposing teams. *Insert Reggie Miller*. And Ewing played 17 years in the NBA, (15 as a Knick) where he finished his career averaging 21 points and 9.8 rebounds per game. “For example, like, the Knicks, if I was messing with the Knicks, it was like there was a Ewing component to it or a Spike Lee component to it.” Pusha T said. “They were so culturally relevant at the time. They were champions of the team and they were like to me, cool guys! So I was like oh man, this is fresh. Anything they put on was fresh. They were definetly representing the Knicks organization at that time.”. Pusha T admires the Knicks’ hustle and muscle from yesteryears, so do so many New Yorkers. The club has just three winning seasons in the past 16 years. At 27–42, the Knicks stand are 12 th in the NBA’s Eastern Conference. After the loss to the Nets Thursday night at MSG, they officially clinched their ...

Remembering The Gladiators Of The Hardwood

... the time Starks broke Kenny Anderson wrist, or the time Starks head-butted Reggie Miller. Then there was that time even the Knicks Coach got involved in the Alonzo Mourning / Larry Johnson beef. The then Knicks Coach Jeff Van Gundy ran out on the court after the two gladiators started throwing hands and jumped on the leg of Mourning. The New York Knicks came to the arena to “Get it Poppin,” coach and all. I say all that to say this: I love the NBA, but the NBA we have now just isn’t the real NBA. I don’t want to see people get hurt, but I do want to see men be men. Maybe 10 current players, at most, could have played in the physical environment the 90 s brought with it. So please don’t tell me how Kyrie Irving , who is a great player in this era, is better than Allen Iverson.  He’s not. Don’t say Le Bron James is better than Michael Jordan because he isn’t. When you do that, you do the current players a disservice. They don’t have to play with the understanding a fight might break out at any moment. Also don’t forget … this was even before “The ...
