Patrick Ewing Hired By Georgetown (pg. 8)

[JT2006]

i wonder if he will coach summer league or if he is above that. silas would probably do it

he coached a summer league team last year

[fatlever]

holy crap, how did i miss the rashard lewis to the HOF comment last week? i could easily name 50 retired players who are not in the HOF who are more deserving.

as for petrovic, anyone who ever doubts how awesome he was should watch the "once brothers" 30 for 30 special.

The Lewis thing still has me sick.

Clifford said he's coaching Summer league.

Per Bonnell.

I'd hope so. He needs as much opportunity to connect with his players as possible.

I missed it too. I reread it this morning and had to post on such a ridiculous idea.

Random question - are people happy with Ewing as associate head coach?

I really don't know of any way to judge an assistant's performance, so I guess I'm happy that he gives us a mentor for our young bigs and a coach with tons of game experience.

Curious to hear thoughts on this.

[Vanderbilt_Grad]

I honestly don't know what he is bringing to the table as a coach. He doesn't project well on TV and I don't remember his SL performance being particularly good. Honestly I thought that he was brought in to give "experienced player" legitimacy to Cliff so that Cliff wouldn't have to work so hard to sell his system to the existing players last year. Now IDK. Really have no idea.

Ewing tore a meniscus in his left knee while working out. Will have surgery --10th on both knees -- after summer league.

[yosemiteben]

Oh wow that sucks for him.

[KembaWalker]

I'm kind of surprised Patrick Ewing has any meniscus left to tear

[vorbis]

10th surgery on both knees. damn. probably not the last at that rate.

[BlackOutBuzz]

10th surgery on both knees. damn. probably not the last at that rate.

10th surgery or surgery on the 10th?

Happy birthday Coach Ewing.

Former Knicks great Patrick Ewing says he'd be a 'great fit' as NYK's next head coach. Details here: http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/15151749/patrick-ewing-wants-new-york-knicks-consideration-head-coaching-job …

Former New York Knicks great Patrick Ewing said he would love the opportunity to interview for the club's head-coaching vacancy.

"You know, this is a great fit for me," Ewing said before the Charlotte Hornets' 111-97 win over the Knicks on Wednesday, according to reports. "I have my number up there [in the Garden rafters]. I still live in the area. If I get an opportunity for an interview, I'd be happy."

I hope he gets a shot at that opportunity, would be nice payoff for all the waiting he's had to do.
