Thank you, John Thompson! I'm a CUSE fan and It was such a pleasure watching your great Georgetown teams of the 80's! You made men out of those who played for you, but more importantly, you showed your love to each one of them and that made them even better! Rest in Peace, John!

Rest Up Big John. The one who gave Allen Iverson a chance. Great coach. Great man.

"BIG CONDOLENCES" to Iverson, Ewing, Mutombo, & Mourning.

One love Coach Thompson... one of my favorites

Legend. Lets not forget when he took over the program at Georgetown they were coming off a 3-23 season and werent on the radar as any kind of division one elite program at all and he turned them into a juggernaut. Rest in peace big man. Hoya Saxa.

What john thompson means to college basketball can't be replaced 🙏🙏🙏

At this point making it past the year 2020 should be a relief. 2020 will be remembered as the year of Death

The 1980’s was the golden age of NCAA college basketball. The Big East with its powerhouse of teams and players led the way. So many great games between so many future Hall of Farmers. A casual fan of basketball at the time I knew I was watching something special. John Thompson put together a great team surrounded by Ewing (who some believe was in the top 3 college layers ever) who was utterly dominant in his years at Georgetown. The Villanova/ Georgetown championship game will go down as one of the biggest upsets ever only because Villanova shot like 70% from the field that night.; go figure.

Crazy cause I'm from Connecticut. We didn't start winning till the 90's. But before then, Georgetown and Syracuse was my SQUADS!!!!!! John Thompson was my favorite coach as a kid

Anyboy remembers Hoya Paranoia? BEAST OF THE BIG EAST in The early 80's?🤔Thanks John Thompson,Jr,or is it Sr.? I know his son is J.T III.🙏👍

I never really knew or met the guy, but when I watched requiem for the big East, I found out what kinda of man he was. He set the bar for African American athletes and students in the DC area.

2020 has been a nightmare. Wow.

REST IN PEACE JT

Mount Rushmore NCAA: John Thompson, Coach K, John Wooden, who you got? Dean Smith? Ray Williams? Lute Olson?

It"s sad as a black man to see we are losing all our best black male figure and I feel more sad because this younger generation are go in through one of the hardest time. The question who to lead this younger generation in to better but safer place.

JESUS sending his angels, rest whale well Big John.

Year 2020 is taking all the real ones away from us

You can't start the next chapter if you keep rereading the last.
