No cap growing up I thought so. Had my hoops dreams paid off I would've went there n played under his son off the strength of what he brought to the program
I feel like with a few players looking at HBCUs if they picked Georgetown nikkas wouldn't even be mad
Dude was an OG fr

LOL at John getting on the mic after Syracuse last game in their old stadium before moving to the carrier dome.
He did not like Jim Boeheim

INVADING SOHH CHAMPION
this is like losing my tennis coach, but possibly worse.
as this is the first person i ever saw that was not my own father.
I knew was put here to listen to and learn from as a black boy to a black man.
he was the first person, my own father took me to go see.
when i was taught basketball on a regulation goal at five years old.
I discovered Michael Jordan.
simply because mike was the first person i ever saw best john Thompson.
when i thought the hoyas were invincible.
this man, was the first man i learned.
was a leader that was not Malcolm or martin. Plus got to see him lead live in color and what it looked like.
I still remember his booming voice dominating the airwaves of a packed blue demon rabid crowd. Commanding Georgetown to trounce my precious blue demons and ask. why hot rod could never beat the hoyas like mike did.
I am hurt from this news and i prepared for this.
I just did not want it to be today.
REST IN POWER COACH.
REST IN POWER LEADER
