George Washington Has Interviewed All Three Assistants for Head Job

George Washington has interviewed all three men’s basketball assistant coaches as possible replacements for Mike Lonergan, multiple sources said.

Hajj Turner, Maurice Joseph and Carmen Maciariello were interviewed by the school’s Provost, Forrest Maltzman, sources said. No one else has been interviewed and interviews are said to be complete.

Lonergan was fired Sept. 16 after reports he verbally and emotionally abused his players.

Practice begins Friday and GW opens the season Nov. 11 against Maryland-Eastern Shore.
