It goes without saying that March 23, 2017 won’t ever be viewed as just a normal day on the Hilltop. As first reported by Casual Hoya and Ben Standig, John Thompson III is out as the Georgetown men’s basketball coach after 13 seasons. The university confirmed the change shortly thereafter.
What’s unknown is what happens next. Crazy as it sounds, somebody else will take over the program and presumably that person will not have the last name Thompson.
That person will conduct practices in the John R. Thompson Jr. Intercollegiate Athletic Center, a building so fresh the new car smell remains.
