As a lifelong fan I am so happy to be going in a new direction with Ed Cooley. I finally am excited to watch the games again, I just didn’t even watch the games the last couple years. I would watch 3/4 games and see how bad they were coached, I knew it was a useless thing they way they were playing. They didn’t play defense at all. Other teams would just work the ball around the perimeter and get an open 3 time and Time again. It was just like a train wreck. Ewing couldn’t coach, but his pride wouldn’t let him quit. Man I am glad it’s over. I have all the confidence in the world that coach will turn this around sooner than later. Go Hoyas I am excited finally again.

Absolutely, could not agree more. Ewing could not connect with his current players nor our past players.....nor student body, nor others in athletic dept. A complete disaster......and DeGioia and Reed watched it happen, did nothing. Fortunately Cooley is righting the ship.

He should not allowed to continue as the university’s leader. Edited for rules of service violation. No personal attacks on staff. --Admin |

We are going to be a competent high major basketball team again. We are going to win games we shouldn’t and handle business against teams we should. We’re going to get at large berths and be excited again on selection Sunday. We’re going to draw up brackets where we go all the way and not really care when we get knocked out after a round or two because it’s just good to be in it again. We’re going to feel joy watching our Hoyas again, and before you know it we’re going to start to remember what Georgetown basketball is meant to be. Not sure if/when Cooley takes us on a deep tourney run, but just that base line competence coming back is all I need for a few years before I start asking for more. I’m sad my standards have gotten this low, but I’m going to enjoy the breath of fresh air while it’s still around. |

The problem is that we are in a conference full of marquee coaches wanting to win. It’s going to be extremely competitive. |

The problem is that we are in a conference full of marquee coaches wanting to win. It’s going to be extremely competitive. Agreed, and this is why I think it will require some patience from Hoyas fans who want to instantly achieve great success. It'll be even more so if St. John's under Pitino is better than us (likely) given that we might have been able to land him. That said, I think the most likely scenario is that we are much better this year than last year, but still not very good. Likely sub .500 record in the Big East, and maybe 5-7 wins. But, I think we are well-positioned for a much bigger jump in 2024-2025. For me, that's really the key year. For me, we need to be in the NCAA tournament in 2024-2025. |
