The longtime Friars coach and Rhode Island native will return home for the first time since leaving for Georgetown last March. It will create a scene with few peers in college basketball history
Really interesting piece. For those of us with a significant amount of life experience, we remember the heyday of Georgetown basketball. The Hoyas of the John Thompson, Jr. era were a force in the Big East for a long time and a marquee team. Maybe the allure of that recruiting base was something that appealed to Ed Cooley. Maybe there were other factors at play internally.
The funniest thing I saw was a clip of Taylor Swift doing a promo for PC basketball: "Friars fans, I know what it's like to be jilted, but come out support PC basketball" - something along those lines. Swift has a house in RI and one of her songs became an anthem at PC basketball games.
