SNYDER: Georgetown needed fresh start, break from Hoyas family tree

ANALYSIS/OPINION:

There are reasons to question Georgetown’s handling of its opening for a men’s basketball coach. The latest head-scratcher arose Monday afternoon:

The school needed a search firm to end up with Patrick Ewing?

Korn Ferry should return a portion of the Hoyas’ fee for a hometown discount.

From the moment Ewing’s name was floated as a replacement for John Thompson III, I rooted against this hiring. Not that I harbor ill will toward Ewing, the Hoya great who enjoyed a Hall of Fame career with my beloved New York Knicks. On the contrary, I wish Ewing all the best.
