Providence athletic director Steve Napolillo went scorched earth against Georgetown’s AD Lee Reed in the aftermath of basketball coach Ed Cooley bolting from the Friars to the Hoyas this week…
“And for me at Providence College, to be in a room with my fellow colleagues where I felt a bond, where I felt a trust, where I felt that the athletic director was a mentor to me and a friend. If I wasn’t ready and saw smoke signs, this could be a lot different conversation. So that’s where for me, when I talk to people, I understand the business, but I really thought that at the Big East, we had something different.
The Providence faithful have been enraged by the fact that Cooley left for a program that is within its own conference, making the 53-year-old an instant enemy.Steve Napolillo:"I understand the business, but I thought, at the Big East, we had something different."
