Georgetown basketball: Patrick Ewing out as head coach after 7-win season, per reports
Georgetown basketball parted ways with coach Patrick Ewing Thursday, per Jon Rothstein. The Hoyas ended their 2022-23 season with an 80-48 loss to Villanova Wednesday evening in the first round of the Big East Tournament. Georgetown ended the year with a 7-25 record, including a 2-18 mark in Big East Conference play.
“The two seasons have been rough — disappointed in the outcomes of these last two years,” Ewing said after Georgetown’s loss to Villanova. “My future’s in the hands of our president and our A.D. and the board of directors.”
Ewing had expressed a desire to return for another year, but to no avail.
“Hey, look, I am proud of being a Georgetown Hoya,” Ewing said. “This institution has been great to me over the years. I’d be honored to come back as the coach here. That’s it.”
