Patrick Ewing as STJ coach?  I have seen some far-fetched suggestions for our next coach (whenever that may be), but I have not heard anyone suggest Ewing...

The guy wants to coach and is a big name in NYC - does anyone have any insight into whether he would consider a college gig?

If MJ is coaching the Knicks next year and Ewing finds his way to Jamaica the following year, I think I would be pretty happy.

does he know x and o's that much?  i've always thought of him as a guy who would instruct big men instead of making plays.

i don't know...  i only know that i have not heard anyone talk about him and i am not entirely sure why.

obviously, some of you old school guys are never going to want a GU alum at the helm, but i grew up with Ewing as a Knick, not as a Hoya.

but as far as x's and o's, there were plenty of people calling for us to hire Chris Mullin or Mark Jackson, neither of whom ever had a head coaching job.

but assuming for the moment that he is at least an adequate in-game coach, his upside is tremendous.

but maybe some of you can make me doubt that.  let me know.  to me, it is at least worthy of discussion,.

Thanks!

mark jackson might be a decent coach...ewing and mullin, i dont really think they would be, especially ewing...and the next hire cant be anything but a experienced and proven coach with both good recruiting skills and basketball intelligence
