"The college basketball lifestyle is awful," says Jeff Van Gundy, one of Ewing's coaches with the New York Knicks. "The job in the NBA is 90 percent coaching, 10 percent everything else. The job in college is 30 percent basketball, 70 percent everything else."

He’s not wrong.

Great article.

I wish Patrick nothing but the best at Georgetown - except of course, when coaching against Ed Cooley and the Friars.

The BE could really benefit from the resurgence of Georgetown, much as it could if Mullen was able to figure it out at St. Johns.

In the meantime, his presence alone, creates a certain aura for the Conference, especially when coaching against Mullen - and when he goes up against Boeheim and Syracuse in their regularly scheduled series.
