Good luck to JT3. The Montag Group represents some of the best broadcasters in the business. |

Called it in the now-locked John Thompson Discussion thread on Mar. 12, 2017 at 11:11 pm: "I see him sitting next to Lavin in the Fox Sports studio." We shall see re: Lavin and Fox Sports.  |

Wish him the best.
He'll do a fine job in broadcasting.
Still think he is a good coach, and can win again.
Go Hoyas!

Hope it works out for him.
Based on numerous examples that I've seen, success is a relatively low bar dictated by inoffensiveness and a penchant for stating the obvious, constantly. Maybe he can transcend that.

I've always thought that taking a year or two off to reassess, and to do broadcasting might work out really well for him. Could be the "battery recharger" that he needs, plus it's a cool gig that would keep him in the game in the meantime. Good luck, JT3! Knock it outta the park! |

Seth Greenberg has carved out a nice niche as the basketball guy at ESPN. And he did nothing at Virginia Tech.
