These are not laughing times, but the Georgetown Hoyas appear to be the laughingstock of the BIG EAST, and potentially all of NCAA basketball, with the recent statement by Georgetown Athletics and Director Lee Reed in support of Patrick Ewing as head coach.
Here is a little taste of some of the Tweets and links:
Whoa, man.

Georgetown has released a statement on Patrick Ewing:
— Not Ron Jothstein (@RonJothsteinn) March 2, 2022
“We, the Hoyas of Georgetown, are committed to Patrick Ewing. We think he’s good & stuff. Hey, did you know he played here in the 80’s? Anyway, the guy got luc- I mean hot for like 5 games. Please respect our decision.”
Georgetown is either going to have a basketball program or a Pat Ewing fan club. Seems like we’ve chosen the latter. https://t.co/79LMv9iG1D

Having attended the UConn Georgetown game on Saturday, where literally 2/3 people in the crowd were UConn fans, and then seeing the Georgetown statement about not firing Ewing its hard to imagine Georgetown having any fans at all next year.

Now armed with the support of the University, Ewing’s decision to walk away after this season becomes much easier should he decide to do so.
