Esherick scrimmaged Princeton before final season

Forgive me if this was common knowledge, but I stumbled upon this in a Washington Times blog that was published about a week ago:

Maryland assistant Chuck Driesell told me yesterday when he coached under Craig Esherick at Georgetown, the Hoyas scrimmaged Princeton before the season.

According to Hoyabasketball.com, Driesell only coached with Esherick during the 2003-2004 season- Esherick's final year. I'm sure this scrimmage provided JTIII an excellent opportunity to see the talent he would be working with the following year.

That was an interesting one to watch, with guys on both teams getting pointers from Hall of Famers John Thompson and Pete Carril. You could tell the players were really hanging on every word.

Maybe Driesell will help more of Esherick's coaching gems rub off on UMCP. Any word of NIT banners hanging over the urinals at Cole or Comcast?
