AI has no college degree. Can't coach. More than once John Thompson has called Allen Iverson "the prodigal son", and there's some truth in that. Putting aside the college degree issue or the NCAA ban on wagering by employees, the idea that a 45 year old AI is going to put on a coat and tie and work a 9-5 job inside the athletic department is asking a lot. He's not had to hold a regular job since high school, if then, and living in Washington is something he's probably not interested in, much less Georgetown, where he has made only a handful of appearances in the past 25 years. When was the last time he attended a game at Capital One Arena? Everyone has to find their own way. He's never going to be a Dave Bing or a Kevin Johnson, and if had interest in coaching or mentoring, it might have been underway by now. If he's happy in Hampton, that's fine. It's just not a fit for what Georgetown needs right now. The best Georgetown could get out of Iverson is for him to come to a few games a season. I'll say this, location isn't the issue. AI spends a decent amount of time at National Harbor. I've seen him there. Some of my friends have seen him there. He's a frequent customer. Probably doesn't hurt that his former teammate Irvin Church works there in some capacity. Now if Chico - who is at every home game - could just get Iverson to come with him to some games.

Uncertain if this account is trustworthy or not, but would certainly be a big deal if true...

On the staff overall, I believe it likely that the AD
had a conversation with the HC re the staff, i.e., does the HC need to at least seriously consider changes.
