Big East 2024 Offseason

[The Hippie Satan of Hyperbole]

I don’t think Ewing was THAT hot of an assistant. He had a couple interviews a few years prior but wasn’t really on a lot of short lists when he was hired. It was an understandable hire but I think it’s clear when he never got a head gig in the NBA.

The Bulldogs mauled The Hoyas tonight .
Ewing keeps collecting his salary.

Hoyas shot 20 percent after halftime. Brandon Murray has hit a wall.

Starting five was 13 for 42.

[Uncle Rico]

I agree with you - but devils advocate. Ewing was a hot name on the nba assistant list. Very well respected.

Mullin was out of nowhere

This is correct.  He was interviewed for some NBA jobs.

His problem has been roster construction at Georgetown as much as anything.  It’s constant churn and lack of identity has doomed his tenure.  I hoped he would succeed but it’s just a failure. 

I know pundits think it’s a good job but I’m not sure of that anymore.  They need to find their Tom Crean who embraces the past but forges a new identity for the program

Definitely not a top tier job. Big time coaches are not going to run to the job. Like you said, they’ll need to find their TC diamond in the rough to redirect the program.

Dennis Gates would have been great for that position.  I’d kick the tires on Ryan Odom, too.

Jai Lucas and Brandin Knight would be assistants worth looking at, too.

I think Georgetown can draw bigger names. They retain tremendous brand recognition, and even in their current state routinely outdraw the bulk of the league in terms of television eyes.

One name that might be worth looking at there is Pitino. No, not THAT Pitino, the younger one. His Minnesota teams were usually pretty good. Had 2 NCAA bids and even in down years had big wins. Long term probably a better fit on the East Coast.

Heard an interview with him recently talked about the value of taking jobs at the top of their conference. Georgetown is still that. It just needs someone who can use the portal and turn it around.

Eh.  They need a program builder.  They need someone to come in and lay a foundation.  Pitino hasn’t shown that.  He had one winning season in the Big 14.

They also need to get rid of Ronny Thompson...

And stop the nonsense of the basketball coach reporting directly to the president. It's 2023. Georgetown need to start acting like it.

Brand recognition is still kind of there. I don’t think the name Georgetown resonates even remotely the same to those under 30 as it does to those over 30.

The administration showing a complete lack of regard for the state of the basketball program also would be a significant red flag if I’m an outsider prospect (non Georgetown or thompson related candidate).

Tom Crean is available

Close to home for Wojo.

Chris Mack would be a good choice

Jay Wright, your table is ready.

Since Buzz will be a Senator (or president) someday, what better way to get his feet wet in the beltway than to take the Georgetown job.

AI deserves a look.

Every other word out of his mouth is a F-bomb, his version of events is actually unbelievable.

…must have attended a KO summer camp, hey

[MU82]

By now JT4 must be ready to do some coaching.

[Lennys Tap]

They need someone to come in and lay a foundation.  Pitino hasn’t shown that. 

Maybe not a foundation, but definitely a gal or two at a nearby Italian restaurant.

[Scoop Snoop]

Well played.

Bwahahaha

AI deserves a look.

Chat GPT is ready and willing

Chat GPT vs. Hologram Al is going to be an epic battle.

[DFW HOYA]

AI deserves a look.

A look for what?

Couldn’t be worse, right?

Players would love it - no practices.

Allen Iverson has no college degree--he left after three completed semesters. It is required to be employed in any Division I coaching position. Also, he turns 48 this year.
