Georgetown Is Taking A Big Gamble In Hiring Patrick Ewing

... name came up on the phone on Monday afternoon. “I can’t speak for anyone else,” he said. “For me, I don’t really care. The media people are saying it more than anyone else. I’m not sure where it’s all coming from.”. Patrick Ewing. 1 33. Ewing’s first on-court challenge will be changing the style of play, as former coach John Thompson III’s Princeton offense ultimately led to his doom. It failed to fit the style of players in recent years and Stevens said it turned off recruits “a lot.” He added: “We have a lot of talented kids and they have a certain ways in which they want to play and certain systems help them make big impacts when they get to college.”. With no regrets after Indiana firing, Tom Crean looks ahead to next opportunity. Former Georgetown coach Craig Esherick pointed out on Monday night that summer basketball culture has filtered up to the NBA, with coaches and front office personnel having to deal with AAU coaches. (Stevens said he’s never met Ewing). Esherick, an associate professor of sports management at George Mason, thinks Ewing will do well at Georgetown. He points out both Ewing’s ...

... Peak, who was saddled with two fouls early in the game. “I come out aggressive. It’s something I do and I have to impact the game somehow.”. St. John’s led 74-68 with 3 minutes to go and it held on despite not scoring again. Georgetown’s final possession started with 6.6 seconds left and the Hoyas missed their final two chances. With 8:35 to go in the game was when the clock turned back to the old Big East days of physical Georgetown-St. John’s games. Amar Alibegovic of St. John’s fouled Peak as he was taking a layup and a few of the players wound up in a scrum under the basket with some pushing and shoving. Alibegovic was given a Flagrant 1 foul. Peak made one free throw to bring the Hoyas within 59-56. Georgetown got within a point three times but could never get the lead. BIG PICTURE. ...

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

... favorite sports uniforms. Appearently the days of Starks, Mason, Oakley and Ewing resonate with him. “Definetly the Knicks, of course,” Pusha T told me on Friday’s episode of 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. ...

Patrick Ewing Gets Major Endorsement For Coaching Gig

... for Georgetown. “I cannot imagine that you’re at Georgetown and you do not hire Patrick Ewing,” Van Gundy said before his Pistons met the Knicks at the Garden on Monday. “College basketball, a large part of it is recruiting, and Patrick’s got two things there: One, he absolutely loves Georgetown University. Always has, always will. So he can sell the school. The second thing is all these top-level players, the main thing they’re thinking about is getting to the NBA. Well, you’ve got a Hall of Fame coach. All of the best big kids have to consider Georgetown right at the top of the list.”. Ewing has long sought an NBA head coaching job, but has been rebuffed. He was a serious candidate for the Sacramento job last summer, but again came up short when the Kings reversed course and hired Dave Joerger. So when Georgetown recently fired John Thompson III, Ewing emerged as a logical fit. The biggest question is whether Ewing wants to forsake the NBA for college. His coaching skills appear unquestioned. Since 2002, ...

Lebron James Apologizes For Tiff With Tristan Thompson

... 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," James told Fox Sports Ohio on the court after the game ended. "I take full responsibility for that as the leader of the team. So I got to be a lot better at that and be able to keep that in-house in the locker room and when we're watching film.". In the locker room, James expanded on his thoughts. "I was a little bit too demonstrative at that point in the game," James ...

Georgetown Hoyas Head Coaching Search

... bombs with Georgetown information, the hiring of a search firm was met with skepticism by the fanbase, that collectively wondered why the school needs to use an independent party to find a coach when sites like this one have already figured out who the best candidates are for the job. However, the below comment yesterday 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, ...

Remembering The Gladiators Of The Hardwood

... it was the best or it was the longest. I’m saying it was one of the roughest. Players would get thrown to the floor and elbows would bang against bodies and there would be no foul called. It was a no blood no foul league. Go to You Tube and check out some of the clips from these games. It was brutal, but it served a purpose: to weed out the weak. Not just the physically weak, but the weak of heart because you had to be a man’s man to play in those games. Players spilling blood on the proverbial battleground was common place. Crowds cheered and the warriors smiled. You watched the game even if you weren’t a fan of either team, but because you knew both factions were going to leave it all out on the court. To put these legendary clash of titans in perspective, during the 1987 eastern conference game, Robert “The Chef” Parish once punched Bill Laimbeer in the face and didn’t get kicked out the game. The attack was egregious and obvious and to add insult to injury,  Darren Daye got the foul on the play. Parish hit Laimbeer in the face twice. It was a two piece and the commenter even remarks there should have been a “punching foul” called. What ...
