<p>WASHINGTON &#8212; A person with direct knowledge of the deal says Patrick Ewing has been hired as Georgetown&#8217;s men&#8217;s basketball coach, more than two decades after he led the Hoyas to their only national championship.</p><p>The person spoke to The Associated Press Monday on condition of anonymity because the school has not announced the hire.</p><p>Ewing has been an assistant coach with the NBA&#8217;s Charlotte Hornets and had hoped for years to land a head coaching job in the pros.</p><p>Instead, he returns to college, rejoining the program he helped win an NCAA title in 1984 with coach John Thompson Jr. Ewing is replacing Thompson&#8217;s son, John Thompson III, who was fired as coach last month after two consecutive losing seasons.</p><p>The blog Casual Hoya first reported the hire.</p><style>
