WEBVTT - Dane comments on Coach Patrick Ewing!

0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:05.400
<v Speaker 1>Patrick Ewing, former Nick's Great, former Georgetown Great, national champion

0:00:05.440 --> 0:00:09.440
<v Speaker 1>with the Georgetown Hoyas, has been named the new head

0:00:09.480 --> 0:00:12.520
<v Speaker 1>coach of the Georgetown basketball team. And I gotta tell

0:00:12.520 --> 0:00:14.960
<v Speaker 1>you something, this is a long time coming for Patrick Ewing.

0:00:15.360 --> 0:00:19.200
<v Speaker 1>Fifteen years spent as an NBA assistant, never really got

0:00:19.200 --> 0:00:22.000
<v Speaker 1>a chance. A lot of people are saying that his intellect,

0:00:22.040 --> 0:00:26.000
<v Speaker 1>his basketball intellect, has been underestimated for a number of reasons.

0:00:26.200 --> 0:00:28.600
<v Speaker 1>Some of them saying because the Ewing was just bad

0:00:28.640 --> 0:00:30.920
<v Speaker 1>with the media, that nobody wanted to give him a

0:00:31.040 --> 0:00:33.400
<v Speaker 1>job because of the pr of it the media training.

0:00:33.600 --> 0:00:36.640
<v Speaker 1>Other people are saying, you know, there's this narrative that

0:00:36.800 --> 0:00:40.120
<v Speaker 1>when former players become coaches that they're only like point guards,

0:00:40.280 --> 0:00:42.560
<v Speaker 1>that the big man. To be quite honest, the narrative

0:00:42.600 --> 0:00:44.800
<v Speaker 1>out there is that they're not smart enough, that they're

0:00:44.840 --> 0:00:47.400
<v Speaker 1>too dumb. And I don't think that's the case with

0:00:47.479 --> 0:00:50.640
<v Speaker 1>Patrick Ewing. Okay, what I want to see is will

0:00:50.760 --> 0:00:53.159
<v Speaker 1>Patrick Ewing be able to recruit? Being a coach in

0:00:53.200 --> 0:00:55.720
<v Speaker 1>the NBA and being a coach in college are two

0:00:55.920 --> 0:00:58.800
<v Speaker 1>very different things. In college, it's really all about recruiting.

0:00:58.960 --> 0:01:00.400
<v Speaker 1>Is he gonna be able to get in to those

0:01:00.400 --> 0:01:03.480
<v Speaker 1>families living rooms and tell people and sell why they

0:01:03.480 --> 0:01:06.760
<v Speaker 1>should come to Georgetown and stay. I don't know. On

0:01:06.800 --> 0:01:10.840
<v Speaker 1>the con side of this, Youing teaches a defensive and

0:01:11.000 --> 0:01:13.160
<v Speaker 1>rebounding and tough kind of style that he had at

0:01:13.160 --> 0:01:15.160
<v Speaker 1>Georgetown that he had with the Knicks. That's not the

0:01:15.200 --> 0:01:17.319
<v Speaker 1>way the game is going. The way it's going the

0:01:17.520 --> 0:01:20.200
<v Speaker 1>u c l A Golden State Warriors spread and shoot.

0:01:20.680 --> 0:01:22.920
<v Speaker 1>But I do think you and will be able to

0:01:22.959 --> 0:01:26.440
<v Speaker 1>recruit whoever the best big men are in the country.

0:01:26.480 --> 0:01:29.319
<v Speaker 1>Who better to learn from if you are trying to

0:01:29.319 --> 0:01:31.160
<v Speaker 1>get to the NBA as a big man then going

0:01:31.200 --> 0:01:35.880
<v Speaker 1>to Georgetown having the tutelage of Patrick Youing
