Message: [QUOTE="Townie72, post: 2150307, member: 780"] You are right. He was the only candidate everyone could agree on. But, that's the problem. To repair this 40 year old rupture with local coaching establishment will take Big John reaching out, admitting some culpability, and then the other side has to accept that. There's a whole lot of changing that will have to be done. And for what? The DMV people would prefer to see Maryland successful. And Big John' sense that he was wronged will never dissipate. I'm not saying Ewing will not or cannot succeed. What I am saying is that GU totally botched the firing of JT III as they obviously had no plan on who to replace him with. They botched the search process. You don't need a Search committee and a consultant (Korn Ferry) to hire Patrick Ewing. That could have been done with a phone call from Big John. [/QUOTE]
