JTIII Canned

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

Wow.

But it was needed.  Will be interesting to see who they get.

Whoa. Really curious to see how that search plays out. It will be a proxy as to where people think Gtown bball is today. I honestly don't know.

[GoldenDieners32]

Crean to GTown

[GGGG]

I am going to guess that Patrick Ewing is the next Georgetown coach.

And where does JTIII land?

Allen Iverson next great GTown Coach

Can match Villanova.  Nova had D.C. kids on that team. 

Can't and shouldn't chase the ghost of Big John

This would explain their top recruit de-committing last week. Either that or the de-commitment played a role in the firing.

If there's a god...and i know there's not because, honestly, turn on the news...this will happen.

Or he saw how awful they looked the last couple months and decided he wanted to play somewhere else while he didn't have to sit out a year.  JTIII lost that team.

Allen Iverson next great GTown Coach

Yeah but Ewing has been an assistant in the NBA for 15 years.  He would make a nice bridge between the Thompsons and whatever future Georgetown has in store.  His son was on the staff there as well.

[barfolomew]

Word on the street is the Thompson center is being renamed the Harbaugh center, so...

Allen Iverson next great GTown Coach

Buzz Williams' teams don't practice free throws.
Allen Iverson's teams just don't practice.

Yeah, also i feel like high school players would want to play for him just because he was so good in the NBA

Next year's high school senior class was born the same year Ewing retired.

[Loose Cannon]

Maybe Dan Hurley gets a look.

[Juan Anderson's Mixtape]

Patrick Ewing would be a huge hire. He is 7 feet tall after all.

[MUBurrow]

I'd put my money on Amaker. 

[CAGASS24]

Not sure why but I feel like McDermott might be a good fit there - save for being pretty midwestern in background

[cheebs09]

Casual Hoya tweeted out that's the name they've been hearing.

[Loose Cannon]

I'd put my money on Amaker.

I can see that, a great time to go.

This move will most likely make the league better. JTIII wasn't getting the job done at a historically great basketball program.

Doubt it.  Need an east coast/DC guy for recruiting.  Losing the DC kids to others was JT III's downfall.

Tommy Amaker was an All American high schooler from Fairfax, Va. and still has the DC AAU contacts.  This would be a very smart move by Georgetown.
