There is no doubt he is one of the best young(er) coaches in college basketball. Fans on this board complain about his stubborn ways and predilections or about our slow offense, but he has shown that he can do the one things that counts the most in college basketball, win games. Now if we can just improve in March Madness, I think many on this board will give him his due. Nearly every year our teams come in unranked or under ranked, and nearly every year we see new players step up and push the team back into the top ten. All without proper practice facilities or a home court on campus. I trust in JTIII. The guy has my respect and admiration as a fan, as a husband and as a father. Here is to the next 200 wins on the Hilltop!

I fear he will never be properly appreciated while here.
He wins; he runs a clean program and he represents our University with class.
A title will only confirm the great job he does.

Congrats to Coach Thompson! I echo the above sentiments - as an alum and a fan of Georgetown, there isn't anyone else I'd want running the flagship athletic program of the school!

Congrats, Coach!
Maybe I'll update the post I did last year on Thompson versus other Big East programs during his time. People sometimes hold coaches to unreasonable standards, and he's been amazingly consistent during his time here. The tournament losses are frustrating, but a lot of programs don't have just one sub-.500 conference record in the last nine years.

Tremendous job by Coach Thompson! For those, like myself, that arrived to the Hilltop just after Iverson, this program was crumbling quickly. Georgetown easily could have become the next DePaul. Instead, JTIII took over and made this team nationally relavent again in short order. The string of bad luck/performances in March will eventually even out and there is no doubt III will keep providing us chances. Like everyone else, I am also very proud of the way III runs his program and represents the University.
