Georgetown basketball moving on from Patrick Ewing following 6-season stint as HC
Published:
Georgetown is letting go of Patrick Ewing after a disappointing 2022 season. The news was announced by the university on Thursday.
Georgetown announced the coaching transition via a press release. The Georgetown graduate talked about how grateful he was to have been able to coach at his alma mater. The Hoyas finished the season at 7-25 after losing to Villanova in the first round of the Big East Tournament on Wednesday.
“I am very proud to be a graduate of Georgetown University. And I am very grateful to President DeGioia for giving me the opportunity to achieve my ambition to be a head basketball coach,” Ewing said. “It is particularly meaningful to me to be in charge of the basketball program at my alma mater. I wish the program nothing but success. I will always be a Hoya.”
After finishing his college career at Georgetown, Ewing went on to play in the NBA for the New York Knicks, Seattle SuperSonics, and Orlando Magic.
Georgetown did improve upon its poor conference record from last season, but only managed to win 2 Big East games in 2022. Ewing’s tenure at Georgetown comes to a close with a 75-109 record.
The Hoyas last reached the NCAA Tournament under Ewing in 2020 after winning the Big East Tournament.
