Patrick Ewing’s time as the head coach at Georgetown has come to an end.
Ewing, the legendary Georgetown big man who had a Hall of Fame career as a player, was fired Thursday. The university’s decision came a day after Ewing’s sixth season coaching his alma mater came to a close.
The Hoyas were blown out by Villanova 80-48 in the first round of the Big East tournament at Madison Square Garden to fall to 7-25 on the year. It marked the second consecutive season that Ewing’s program failed to crack the 10-win mark.
