...and recruit New Jersey.
Leaving big bad football Texas and the Big 12 for Georgetown and thebasketball only Big East would send a message loud and clear that we are a power conference.
For SJU's sake, I hope they tap Ewing, Sr., not so great for the BE itself, but we'd have one less team to jump over.
There is a reason why Sr. has not gotten a HC job in the NBA.
Danny Hurley would recruit NJ hard so I don't want him there.
If it is Smart, the NY area recruiting doesn't matter.
MY question is how pissed IS the big Fella'? They gave his son a long tenure, so maybe not that much. I happen to think JTIII is probably well suited for an Ivy or an Ivy type school, he will definitely land on his feet, like I am sure Crean will too.
Someone mentioned Cooley, I'd be surprised if Georgetown went in that direction. If they do, I think he'd do a good job there, and Georgetown being a big market team, being elite again helps the Big East.

Amaker's name has surfaced. Fits the Academics G'town projects as a great school. Crean is a very good Coach. Indiana demands Final 4's and Big 10 Championships, like every year. A function that Knight delivered . Kind of like UCLA, Kentucky in that regard.
Doubt Cooley is in the mix. Ewing Sr will get consideration but, doubtful.. Smart? Maybe.. i would love Lavin to go there!

Can't see Cooley leaving Providence ... especially for another BE team.

I think that would be a bad look for all involved, and if the BE has unwritten rules that's probably one of them.

In my know-nothing opinion Gtwn won't be interested in Amaker or Crean and Cooley wouldn't even be discussed. Smart would be a major coup then Hurley next option. I heard Miller's name mentioned early but haven't since so maybe he just isn't an option. As I recall he got a salary boost last year but still not enough to keep him from being poached. Ewing would be something St Johns would do but not Gtwn unless they get into a placate John Thompson rut.
