Patrick Ewing once made the jump from Georgetown to the Knicks. Don’t be shocked if history repeats.
For all the nostalgia Wednesday will bring, when Georgetown officially introduces Ewing as its new coach at a news conference on campus, there’s evidence to suggest the Knicks legend hasn’t given up on his goal of becoming an NBA head coach. Returning to lead the Hoyas back to prominence could be that stepping stone.
Only last season, Ewing told The Post he didn’t believe returning as a college coach was in his future when asked about St. John’s hiring Chris Mullin.
