Arr, mateys! Be there any doubt that the Georgetown ship be in troubled waters, forsooth! Coach Ed Cooley, in his first voyage, seemed to have let a scallywag's taunts rattle him, while the Hoyas be floundering on the basketball deck!
Ed Cooley's first season on the Georgetown men's basketball baseline has not gone quite as planned. The Hoyas suffered a 70-76 loss to Seton Hall on Wednesday, which dropped their record to 8-14. Cooley spent the past 12 seasons at Providence before leaving to join Georgetown. Cooley led the Friars to seven March Madness tournament appearances during his tenure.Cooley did manage to guide the Hoyas to a 5-2 start to the season, but Georgetown has struggled mightily against Big East conference opponents.
A heckler took aim at Cooley during the Hoyas most recent game inside New Jersey's Prudential Center. The unidentified fan highlighted Cooley's estimated multi-million dollar salary.
The first-year coach decided to address the heckler with a short, profanity-laced response. "You know what, I’m rich as a motherf-----r. I’m rich as s---," Cooley said moments after Georgetown suffered a seventh consecutive loss.
The terms of Cooley's contract with Georgetown have not been made public. However, previous reports stated that the university had to offer a significant sum to entice Cooley to leave Providence.
Last month, Cooley returned to Rhode Island, but Providence fans did not give him a warm welcome. Shortly before the game tipped off fans inside the arena began a vulgar "F--- Ed Cooley" chant.
NBA legend Patrick Ewing returned to coach his alma mater in 2017. He finished his final season at Georgetown with a 7-25 record.
