Yeah, he could work with the...or teach the team to...what exactly is his thing? Oh yeah, the Princeton Offense, yikes. Good luck Pooh Bear.

JTIII at Georgetown

Any comments Townie? Went pretty hard in this thread.

Patrick Ewing up next.

Patrick Ewing up next.

Ewing still can't read this.

 

[Alsacs]

Patrick Ewing up next.

You are probably right. He has been passed over for an NBA job. Ewing has paid his dues rising up from volunteer to lead assistant coach for Charlotte.

I think Georgetown has to call him if they are going to get the wrath of JT II.

Don't see how it's not Ewing if true.

I just want to know the Terrapin Club's perspective on this move.

 

[Col. Bleep]

So long Mr. Potatohead.
Will miss hating him.
But no matter who takes over...I LOAAAAAATHE G-town and always will.

How sad. I was really enjoying the trajectory of their program. Outside of the beating us the last two year part. Hopefully they reconsider and keep JT3 on for the remainder of my lifetime.

That 2013 Florida Gulf Coast game was magical. I really enjoyed that. I was with 3 friends watching it and one of them said that was happiest they had ever seen me outside of the aftermath of a Syracuse victory.

I didn't think they could look worse than they do, but if you see it in print year by year it looks far worse than you could ever believe.

Well, if this post from Casual Hoya is accurate, they can certainly afford to pay for a real BB coach:

John Thompson III’s salary is higher than we thought
by Roey Hadar Mar 20, 2017, 9:11am EDT

Georgetown’s most recent disclosures indicate the university pays JT3 $3.6 million annually.

My god. How is that possible.

 

[721Comstock]

My god. How is that possible.

Dad - please help the Chancellor find his wallet.

 

[OttoMets]

Headline: John Thompson fired.

Townie: No, he's still coaching there and earning a salary.

And that's an oversell. Considering they were curbstomped in so many of those games.

 

[Toga]

Maybe they could use some of that salary for a few scholarships or something.
