Patrick Ewing hired as Georgetown head basketball coach, per report

Former Georgetown Hoyas basketball star Patrick Ewing is returning to the school as the team’s head coach, according to Casual Hoya, SB Nation’s Georgetown community. Ewing has been a Charlotte Hornets associate head coach since 2013 and an NBA assistant since 2002.

Ewing will replace John Thompson III, whom Georgetown fired after the season. Thompson spent 13 years at Georgetown and made the NCAA tournament eight times, but he missed it in three of the last four years and finished below .500 in the last two. His total record on the hill was 278-151 in in 429 games. Thompson coached some great players and some great offenses in the late 2000s, but he fell off.
