Glad he is finally getting a chance. He’s been passed over for so many nba jobs and he’s been a success as an asst. Hope he’s able to make Georgetown relevant again.

When he showed up in '82, he was a mess. Georgetown & Coach Thompson turned him into a man and a great player. I can't imagine a better recruiter.
If he dares, he just needs to play the tape of him being interviewed when he first showed up.
I stand by my statement. This is a worse decision than hiring Thompsons son
