Georgetown parts ways with Ewing after 6 seasons

Georgetown parted ways with head coach Patrick Ewing after six seasons with the program, the school announced Thursday.

The Hoyas had a record of 75-109 (.408 winning percentage) under Ewing's watch. They went a combined 13-50 over his final two seasons, including 2-37 in Big East play.

"Patrick Ewing is the heart of Georgetown basketball," Georgetown president John J. DeGioia said. "I am deeply grateful to Coach Ewing for his vision, his determination, and for all that he has enabled Georgetown to achieve. Over these past six years, he was tireless in his dedication to his team and the young men he coached, and we will forever be grateful to Patrick for his courage and his leadership in our Georgetown community."

Ewing led Georgetown to the Big East championship as a No. 8 seed in 2021, earning it a spot in the NCAA Tournament. It was the team's lone appearance in the Big Dance under Ewing's watch.

The 60-year-old starred at Georgetown as a player from 1981 to 1985. Ewing led the Hoyas to a national championship in 1984 and was named the Final Four Most Outstanding Player.

"It is particularly meaningful to me to be in charge of the basketball program at my alma mater," Ewing said in a statement. "I wish the program nothing but success. I will always be a Hoya."

Georgetown earned just two NCAA Tournament bids over the last eight seasons after making eight appearances over the preceding 10 years.
