Struggles for Georgetown in Big East
Georgetown’s head coach, Ed Cooley, has been facing a tough season as the team has been struggling against Big East opponents. Despite starting the season with a 5-2 record, the Hoyas have only managed to secure one win in their ten games in the Big East.
A Heckler Strikes
During the Hoyas’ recent game at New Jersey’s Prudential Center, Coach Cooley was targeted by a heckler from the student section. The unidentified fan took aim at Cooley’s multimillion-dollar salary, shouting, “That’s $7 million per win.”
Coach Cooley’s Response
In a moment of frustration after Georgetown’s seventh consecutive loss, Coach Cooley decided to address the heckler. His response, however, was unexpected. “You know what, I’m rich as a motherf—–r. I’m rich as s—,” Cooley exclaimed, using profanity in his retort.
The Controversy Continues
The terms of Coach Cooley’s contract with Georgetown have not been made public. However, it was reported that the university offered a significant sum to entice Cooley to leave Providence and join their coaching staff. This move was met with hostility from Providence fans when Georgetown faced off against his former team, with fans chanting vulgarities directed at Cooley.
Despite the controversy, Coach Cooley remains determined to turn things around for the Hoyas as they strive to improve their performance in the Big East.
