apparently on that junkies show, pe sr was interviewed today, and nepotism was discussed as it relates to pe jr.
the link
well, here are the relevant comments on the subject.
Ewing, 54, will not be able to carry his son, Patrick Ewing, Jr., the director of basketball operations at the Georgetown program for the past year, over onto his coaching staff, he says.
“I wish, I wish that that could be the case,” Ewing said. “They have a nepotism clause and unfortunately they’re gonna stand by it.”
“Oh, really?” Jason Bishop said. “I didn’t know that. Is that an NCAA thing, or just or Georgetown thing?”
“It’s a Georgetown thing, to my knowledge,” Ewing said.
“We’re gonna lobby,” Eric Bickel said. “We’re gonna lobby on your behalf.”
“Please do. Please do,” Ewing said. “Please do. Please do.”
“What about a volunteer assistant?” Bickel asked. “Can he do that, and then you pay him on the side?”
“Hahahahaha,” Ewing laughed. “I’m not sure about. That is something that we’ll probably have to look into.”
commentary:
could they really try and get that thing overturned? would they take a bad hit doing so. look, i think pe jr is gonna be a HELLUVA coach, but can this program have him as a recruiting apprentice, when things are pretty dire. can it take any hit if he's just a special assistant?
thoughts?
