Three men’s basketball players at Georgetown University have received restraining orders, per court documents, as well as being accused of burglary; one player was also accused of sexual harassment and assault.

On November 12, a restraining order was filed by a Georgetown student against Myron Gardner, Josh LeBlanc, and Galen Alexander. The criminal complaint filed by the student alleged that “sexual harassment and assault” by Gardner took place on September 15, in the complainant’s apartment. The next day, September 16, the complainant alleges that Gardner, LeBlanc and Alexander burglarized her apartment.

Another accuser filed a similar complaint against LeBlanc and Alexander; the complaint stated:

“In response to an alleged burglary that I believe Joshua LeBlanc committed against me on Sept. 16, 2019, Joshua threatened bodily harm against myself and my roommate. He continued to threaten me verbally and via text message in the following week.”

Neither LeBlanc nor Alexander appeared in court on November 14 and were both subsequently served restraining orders. Another court date has been set for December 9.

“Georgetown takes student conduct issues very seriously and ensures that they are investigated thoroughly,” Georgetown University said in a statement. “While we are not able to comment on specific cases, we have processes for investigating and adjudicating alleged violations for our student code that are fair to both parties. We encourage any student who has a concern to be in contact with the Georgetown University Police Department or the Office of Student Conduct.”

In a written statement on Monday, Hoyas coach Patrick Ewing stated that LeBlanc would not play on the team for the remainder of the season. Until now, the sophomore was averaging 7.2 points per game and 2.7 rebounds per game in the six games he had played in this year.

Georgetown is currently 4-3 on the year, their most recent game a loss to UNCG. On Thursday, the Hoyas will travel to Oklahoma to take on the Oklahoma State Cowboys; LeBlanc will not be with them.

The No.1-ranked Villanova Wildcats will visit the Georgetown Hoyas on Wednesday night, and here all the facts to know before watching the game.

The Georgetown Hoyas hired former NBA star Patrick Ewing as their head basketball coach on Monday, and many league members were quick to react to the news on social media, most of them positively, congratulating the legend on his new job.

Georgetown Hire Patrick Ewing as New Coach, NBA Reacts

Among the players and other prominent NBA figures expressing their excitement about the move were Dwyane Wade, Nicolas Batum, and Anthony Morrow.

Also offering congratulations were Ewing’s former Knicks teammate, fellow center Mark Jackson, as well as former Los Angeles Lakers and Denver Nuggets star Nick Van Exel. 

Miami Heat owner Micky Arison, meanwhile, referred in his tweet to his son, Heat CEO Nick Arison, who attended Duke and served as the team manager for the Blue Devils’ 2001 national champions.

“Of all the players that have gone from superstardom to putting in the time and paying their dues to becoming a head coach, Patrick deserves this probably more than any player ever,” said Heat president Pat Riley, who coached Ewing with the Knicks (via the Charlotte Observer). “I am absolutely delighted for him and I think he’ll do a great job at Georgetown. Patrick Ewing was the first. He has come home.”

The 54-year-old former New York Knicks center, who retired from NBA play in 2002, played the same position at Georgetown and was drafted first overall by the Knicks in 1985. Ewing, an 11-time all-star and the 1986 Rookie of the Year, posted career averages of 21.0 points, 9.8 rebounds and 2.4 blocks, and his 2,894 total blocks are seventh all-time in NBA history.

Ewing played in the NCAA Championship Game three times, and led the Hoyas to their only national championship in 1984.

When announcing Ewing’s hiring, Georgetown called him “the greatest men’s basketball player to ever don the Blue (and) Gray.”

Ewing, meanwhile, has said his experience as a Hoyas star was thrilling.

“My four years at Georgetown were the best of my life,” Ewing said in a statement issued by the school. “Georgetown is my home and it is a great honor for me to return to my alma mater and serve as the next head coach. I have been preparing to be a head coach for many years and can’t wait to return to the Hilltop.”

The former NBA star, who also played with the Orlando Magic and Seattle Supersonics, will now replace John Thompson III as Georgetown coach. Thompson III, who was fired after two mediocre seasons, is the son of Big John Thompson, who coached Ewing

Before his hiring, Ewing had been working as an associate head coach for the Charlotte Hornets since 2013, (as well as their summer league team, the Bobcats) and prior to that served as an assistant coach for the Magic, Houston Rockets and Washington Wizards.

“This is a big loss for the Charlotte Hornets, but we are all excited for Patrick to have the opportunity to go back to Georgetown,” Hornets Coach Steve Clifford said. “Everyone knows how much his alma mater means to him. I’ve had the privilege of working with him for 12 years with three organizations and I know the effort he has put into coaching. He has attacked this profession with the same mentality he had as a player, with hard work, dedication and a passion for the game of basketball.”

In a week filled with mascot shenanigans, a recent story from SB Nation has highlighted one of the cutest mascots ging an amazing trick. During the halftime show of the Kansas versus Georgetown game, there have been reports of Jack the Bulldog — aka Georgetown’s dog mascot — skateboarding up and down the court.

At the moment, there are no videos of Jack’s wonderful halftime show, but the good folks at Georgetown did give the world a preview of the mascot’s skills.

For everyone interested in the actual outcome, Kansas (7-1) overcame the Hoyas (5-3) 75-70. Georgetown’s next game is home against Radford University: everyone is patiently waiting to see how Jack will top his latest skateboarding trick.
