Totally agree with your point about the main 3 assistants being gone, given what we know. I do think HIll is probably safe, given that officially his title is "Associate Athetics Director for Sports Performance" and he oversees all 29 sports, not just men's basketball. guhoyas.com/staff-directory/michael-hill/241I would hope Coach Cooley brings in his own guys for the positions now held by Ronny (although I don't know that the Chief of Staff role needs to get filled), Howze, Hamilton and Horne. Also nobody related to Patrick Ewing should be drawing a paycheck from Georgetown anymore, besides of course the $12M Patrick, Sr. is getting to go away. Hill needs to go as well or at least just concentrate on the other sports. We need new blood all the way through. He's been there way too long and I wouldn't say our strength program has been a errrrr strength? (ha) just want to say, HoyasAreHungry, that your new “Hope” avatar is the greatest… Spent way too long last night seeing if TShirts are available (yet) with it and so far no. I recall there was a similar one with III for a bit, right after Obama’s original. I do now know that “Cooley” as a name is Irish enough so that many many TShirts are available with it married to an Irish theme (shamrocks, pubs, Irish flag, etc.) I would say there are now a few less of those available — but that would be inaccurate (the “few” part”).

Haha thanks! I thought it was appropriate. Maybe I can see if we can get that printed on a T somewhere. I actually still have the one they made of JT3 sitting in a drawer somewhere (sadly in a much smaller size than fits me currently but that's a whole other topic! haha).

Doubt he goes anywhere. The one coach search was to honor his father.

Some have forgotten; we will remind them (to repurpose a phrase). Found this in the archives -- had forgotten about the back. Certainly hope some enterprising Hoya entrepenuer builds on your avatar, HoyasAreHungry. I know my class has a reuniion coming up, and my mates and I alone would be good for a couple dozen at the least...

Anyone who knows PE2 realizes that this is a loss for the program.

About the 8:20 mark in this interview, Coach Cooley mentions Ronny - hard to imagine ties are going to get cut when the relationship runs deep like this. I can’t even bring myself to listen.

Anyone who knows PE2 realizes that this is a loss for the program. Come again? I think he’s saying that Patrick Ewing Jr. not being employed by the program is a loss. I did see he’s still listed in the directory (or was 2 days ago) but I thought he has left a while back. I don’t know enough about Ewing Jr. to comment one way or another, but my understanding was that he had an alumni coordination role when he was employed and based on last week’s reports many alumni, including Reggie Williams were angry. So that does make me question how effectively alumni outreach had been done in the past. That said, I thought Ewing Jr. had moved on after the 2022 season ended. So not sure why it’s even a question?

I don't understand at all why you're referring to Ronny as a boogeyman To put it mildly, he was an ineffective member of a staff that won 2 of 40 BE games, he should be let go like every other member of Ewing's staff.

The return of Dark Ronnie? Don’t worry, I’m sure Hoyatalk with have plenty of options for a new boogieman should the Cooley era fail to meet expectations. Maybe his daughter? I don't understand at all why you're referring to Ronny as a boogeyman To put it mildly, he was an ineffective member of a staff that won 2 of 40 BE games, he should be let go like every other member of Ewing's staff. I didn't make Ronnie the bogeyman. Aidan and a vocal section of Hoyatalk did, blaming him for all sorts of ills within the program, even though it has never been clear what exactly his role, authority or influence actually was. (From Aidan's piece--"In nearly every interview with current and former members of the program, the consensus reply to the question “What exactly does Ronny do for the program?” was either a shrug or an “I don’t know”. hilltophoops.substack.com/p/ronny-thompson-georgetown-basketball-influence ) On the other hand, you are absolutely correct that whatever he did or did not do in the program, his efforts did not result avoidance of the recent slow motion car crash, and as such his removal (along with the rest of the pre-Cooley staff) would appear more than warranted. And the removal of Ronny's name from the directory would seem to indicate that removal. Rejoice!
