John Thompson appreciation thread


Sure I hated him. Sure I booed him. Sure I still hate Gtown with every iota of my soul. But I am truly sad at the passing of Coach Thompson. He was a great defensive coach and had tremendous impact on college bball. I enjoyed him as a broadcaster and his reflections on the Big East. Personally I paraded a 'Go for the Bronze' sign around the Dome pre-game (Thompson had failed to win the Olympics the previous Summer). He saw the sign, read it, pointed and chuckled. So awesome! He was a Big Man with a Great Heart. RIP Coach. Thanks for the wonderful memories. Please share your memories in the comments.
