Patrick Ewing Leaves Georgetown Coaching Job

Patrick Ewing is out as Georgetown's head basketball coach after six seasons. He decided to return to his alma mater in 2017-18.

What happened?

Ewing's exit comes after a 7-25 record this past year, prompting the change. His best season was 2018-19 when the Hoyas went 19-14.

He led his team to the NCAA Tournament during the 2020-21 campaign after winning the Big East tournament despite a 13-13 record.

Why it matters for Patrick Ewing

Ewing was one of the greatest college basketball players in history, averaging 12.7 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 3.2 blocks in 37 games his freshman year.

He saw an increase in offensive production with 17.7 points and 10.2 rebounds in 32 games the next season.

What comes next?

The New York Knicks ended up with the first overall pick in the NBA Draft and selected Ewing, who had a Hall of Fame career, spending 15 seasons in New York.

Ewing had his No. 33 retired by the franchise, and he will always be a Hoya. He is very proud to be a graduate of Georgetown University.

Ewing wishes the program nothing but success, and he will always be a part of the Georgetown community.

Reaction from Georgetown

Patrick Ewing is the heart of Georgetown basketball, said President John J. DeGioa. He was tireless in his dedication to his team and the young men he coached.

The Hoyas went 2-18 in Big East play this season, and they didn't fare too well against Villanova in the first round of the Big East tournament, losing 80-48.

Ewing's exit as a coach doesn't change the fact that he will always be a Hoya, and his legacy will live on at Georgetown University.

He had a remarkable career as a player and coach, and his impact on the Georgetown basketball program will be remembered for years to come.

The search for a new head coach is underway, and the Georgetown community is looking forward to the next chapter in their basketball program's history.

Ewing's departure marks the end of an era, but his legacy will continue to inspire future generations of Georgetown basketball players.

The Georgetown Hoyas will look to rebuild and come back stronger next season, and Ewing will always be remembered as a true Hoya legend.
