Penn State head coach Micah Shrewsberry has emerged as the leading candidate for the Georgetown job following the firing of Patrick Ewing this past week.
Shrewsberry, who has been at Penn State for just 2 seasons, has elevated the Nittany Lions to a chance to crack the NCAA Tournament field in Year 2, something Penn State has not previously done since 2011.
Prior to being Penn State’s head coach, Shrewsberry was an assistant at Butler during their back-to-back title runs, also making stops at Purdue as an assistant. Shrewsberry also served on the Boston Celtics staff from 2013-2019.
