head coach in 2017 and still is today.
When looking forward and adjusting to coaching in 2020, the now 58-year-old recognized that it has been an adjustment. But something he’s ready, willing and able to take on.
“It’s definitely a different style [today],” Ewing said. “In my era, centers were more on the box, posting up. Even though they still do that a lot more in college basketball than in the NBA, the style has definitely changed; now the big men want to be on the perimeter, everybody wants to be on the perimeter shooting threes. But I do think if someone has a dominant center, they’re going to give him the ball in the box.”
