George Washingtons Maurice Joseph, who received the interim coaching tag just prior to the start of practice, says he isnt focused on trying to land the job on a permanent basis.Joseph, 31, was the surprise choice to take over the program for the current season when Mike Lonergan was fired last month after an internal investigation following allegations he verbally and emotionally abused his players.Joseph, along with fellow assistants Hajj Turner and Carmen Maciariello, interviewed for the job. Joseph played two seasons at Michigan State before transferring to Vermont, where he played his final two years for Lonergan.I never got into the habit of looking down the road, Joseph told ESPN. Maybe thats a gift and a curse. Maybe I should be thinking, Lets make the tournament, and I can get this job. But Im not. I really just want to have a good practice today.Just days after receiving the news from athletic director Patrick Nero that he would be leading the program, Joseph flew out and spent a day with Michigan State coach Tom Izzo.[Izzo] told me to be myself, Joseph said. Theres going to be advice from every angle, youve got to run this, change that -- run what you know and be yourself, dont waver from who you are or the guys will be able to see that. He said, Be yourself and teach what you know.Joseph said that despite the perception, everything has run smoothly since he was given the interim tag on Sept. 18.From outside looking in, that might be the assumption, Joseph said. Turmoil. Players from Day 1, since the day the news broke of Coach Lonergan, have been unified. Its remarkable how tightly knit they stayed.Our staff -- obviously its an awkward situation, he added. But those guys have been tremendous in terms of dealing with it. Weve all taken the approach its all hands on deck and theres no ego involved. The task at hand is really to take care of our guys who have gone through some adversity, going through a major change, and focus on getting better. Theres no discussion from administration or my part in terms of the future.Joseph inherits a team that lost three starters from a group that won 28 games and claimed the NIT title.It was surprising a little bit, but once I sat down and thought about it, it made a lot of sense, leading returning scorer Tyler Cavanaugh told ESPN of Josephs selection as the interim. Hes been great -- young, positive, great energy. Hes very positive energy. Hes been really good -- drills running around the floor. Its a change. Coach Lonergan was old school. Especially for young guys, its great to have a young coach leading us. Keeping us all together has been the big thing -- for the staff and the players.Everyone really respects [Joseph], Colonials guard Jaren Sina added. Hes really brought energy, thats the one thing hes really emphasized. Been a buzz, new level of intensity and thats brought excitement. Its made for really fun practices.Joseph said he wont make wholesale changes on the court, especially coming off last years NIT championship and the success the program has had the past few years under Lonergan.In five seasons under Lonergan, the Colonials were 97-70 and went to the NCAA tournament in 2014.Well tweak some things defensively, schemes and positioning, Joseph said. Offensively, well play with a little more tempo. But other than that, we had great sets. Well put in some sets. We won the NIT. Were in a good spot in terms of being able to move forward.
