Following another chaotic season of Georgetown basketball, it’s no secret that John Thompson III is feeling the heat from a dissatisfied fan base. The situation has received national media attention, and the idea of moving on from JT3 has become a real possibility.
To me, however, the way that Georgetown has handled this situation has been almost as worrying as the situation itself. The program has tried to close itself off from the public, attempting to silence the fans’ dissatisfaction by cutting off their mouthpieces. It’s clear that Georgetown is unaccustomed to being in this situation with a coach named Thompson, but that does not excuse the school’s behavior as it tries to sort this situation out.
