Message: [QUOTE="orangenirvana, post: 2151011, member: 156"] I thought the Mullin hire was absurd and he's actually exceeded my expectations even though he's had nothing but losing seasons so far. Any comparison to that hire isn't a positive thing. It would be like the Buffalo Bills hiring Jim Kelly to be head coach because he happened to be a Hall of Fame player for the Bills back when they were good. Ewing is obviously intelligent enough. But at least one thing Mullin has on Ewing is energy. You need great energy and an unnatural drive to be a quality college basketball HC (these days especially). I don't see Ewing having that. He's incredibly boring to listen to and from what I've read doesn't sound like he was all that motivated in moving up the coaching ladder. [/QUOTE]
