Before the guarantee that’ll accompany him throughout his time with the Hoyas, Ed Cooley had to collect himself for a few moments when asked about being next in line at a program whose architect was the first Black coach to win an NCAA tournament title.
Additional symmetry about Cooley’s arrival at Georgetown was inescapable. Thompson, the Hoyas’ coach from 1972 to 1999, was a standout center at Providence, where Cooley spent the previous 12 seasons, including being named national coach of the year for 2021-22.
the hiring process was finalized. But he made certain to emphasize that he intends to blaze his own path as Georgetown’s first coach without a direct link to Thompson since the Hoyas rose to national prominence.“I don’t get caught up in the weeds on whether you knew him, whether you didn’t,” Cooley said of Thompson,. “I respect it. I understand it. We’ve just got to try to do something our way, and it’s not in the mold of what Coach [Thompson] would do. It’s a different era right now.
