“What makes this harder on everybody is I stayed within the league,” Cooley said. “But it’s the Big East that I love, what I was born and raised in. That’s not something I’m going to apologize for. I’m not apologizing for taking care of my life. End of discussion.”... “I want people to embrace the coach they have,” Cooley said of English. “They have a fantastic young coach who will do great things.” While English is appreciative of everything Cooley did to build the program — and might be the only one in the city who was happy to see Cooley leave — much of the fan base isn’t yet able to forgive Cooley. The fans view Georgetown as a significant step down due to its struggles over the past decade, especially since former Hoyas great Patrick Ewing couldn’t turn things around. But the reality is that most coaches in college basketball, and nearly all who work in the Big East, would prefer the Georgetown job if given the choice. “Georgetown has a much higher upside,” said one veteran Big East assistant. “Just because it’s been terrible lately doesn’t mean it’s not a better job. Providence hired the right guy 10 years ago and Georgetown hasn’t had the right people running the program.”... “It’s just a matter of time,” Cooley said of getting the Hoyas back into one of the top spots in the league. “I could give two s--- - about legacy. I’m not here for legacy. I’m here to win, I’m here to graduate young people and I’m here to make change.” themessenger.com/sports/ed-cooley-georgetown-mens-basketball-providence-big-eastI hope this narrative ends at least until the Providence game, its completely worn out at this point..

From a national cbb perspective it's the only thing to talk about re the Hoyas. They need a player or 2 to do something and we can get a different convo going.
