The fine people at
The Voice have joined their fellow student-writers at
The Hoya with a plea to the Georgetown administration to give Thompson a raise. The piece, entitled "Pay The Man," will appear in today's addition of
The Voice and is
available online.
Best point of the article is the level of class that JT3 restored to head coaching job. I'm not saying Escherick was a class-less guy, but he portrays the paternal role that his pops was known for. Also, JT3 has restored the role of GU head coach to a high role of respect. Did Craig really belong on the same floor as the likes of BE established names like Lappas & Boehiem?
ReplyDeleteAlso, while pops was respected, there's no denyign a certain thuggish image that was associated with G'town bball (Exhibit A - Cuba Gooding in Boyz in da Hood). JT3 presence & style of play have done wonders with portraying G'town as the wholesome Jesuit institution that it is. That by itself is worth $1MM.
