Coach Thompson was like the father I never had but always wanted

Super R.I.P.

I'm a DMV native and anyone black from this area, we all connected through John Thompson and Georgetown. From Patrick to Ai, and all the players in between. You will be missed

RIP Coach Thompson

You can’t think about the history of College Basketball without thinking of John Thompson.

rip to a leader and a legend. he turned boys into men at georgetown. always respected him.

 

[Erratic415]

He is probably one of the main reasons a lot of ppl thought Georgetown was an HBCU.

I’m glad to know there’s lot of other people who thought that. I thought it was an HBCU for years.

He was such a dad to us young brehs in the 80s. It was as if when you saw him, you had to straighten up your back and pay attention.

I can say with all honesty that he was one of the few men in that era that we never met who in sports had that sort of stature to us 80s kids.

The original coogie sweater man with unwavering Blackness.

Sleep in peace, Big John.

 

[Samori Toure]

Rest in peace coach. You made us proud.

 

[dtownreppin214]
