First off its not like we are talking about dissing Babe Ruth here.
Ewing was paid a lot of money, played his heart out. He also hid injuries and looked out for himself and manipulated the front office to get his way and made sure he got his big contract and style of play stayed condusive to his statistics.
Then when he had his big fat contract and was being phased out he requested a trade and divided the lockerroom.
Ewing took a big fat dump on the franchise and its stench lasted for years. Dolan is a little prick who does not forget such things. He seems like a loyal guy if your loyal to him.
Mase was riding around with naked 14 year olds in the limo and was a ticking time bomb. I think they let former players work out and perhaps they are just trying to give him a chance to crack into the coaching ranks by letting him work with Eddy and build a reputation.
Ewing has been a primadonna before and has thought he deserved to be head coach even before he ever was an assistant.
A guy like MDA had the clout at the time in his contract that he is going to have his guys or have final say in who he got. Herb seems rooted here so I doubt Pat gets an assitant job.
If your trying to play up tempo game the last guy you want is Pat Ewing around.
We did him a solid favor by keep trying to bring Jr. into the fold.
There are 29 other teams that he could have tried with. Both Father and son that is!
I do admire Ewing who is famous for being tight with his money and smart with it so I doubt he needs the gig for money and has stuck with it as long as he has. That itself is a sign of humility I was not expecting from him.
Perhaps one of the other 29 teams has a need for a lengendary big man to coach them?
