John Thompson, a strong black man who taught boys how to become men. In the 80's when a team played Georgetown they knew they were going to have to play great. Or it was game over.. Rest in Power coach Thompson.

He was a father figure to them, not just a coach. Most of those kids had no father figure in their lives. Allen Iverson credited him with saving his life. He saved plenty of lives of misguided youth, gave them tough love, and kept them off the street. Rest in peace

Georgetown and Michigan were there 2 teams that I wanted to play college basketball for after I graduated in 1998! I loved watching Georgetown play in the NCAA basketball tournament!

Let me watch Above The Rim again.

Deaths come in threes..this one hurt too

He made the Big East as famous as the NBA with Georgetown Hoyas. This is sad as i loved him as a young man
