Watch the drama at Georgetown

There is a very nice story line developing in Washington, DC. All-time great Patrick Ewing returns to his alma mater to don the mantle of the Thompsons there, to try to restore the program to its glory years in the brutally tough Big East. He starts slowly, but has gained speed each year. Now he is to the point where we find out if he can really coach. He has a talented pair of sophomore guards who might be among the best in the country IF they can be as good as they are fancy. Can a coach from the pros accomplish that? He has some big men to work with, and if anyone knows big men, it ought to be Ewing, who developed under arguably the best big man coach in college basketball. The pieces are coming together, but can Ewing take them from "potentially" to "really are"?
