John Thompson, Legendary Georgetown Basketball Coach, Dies at the Age of 78

[Tweaked]

As someone who grew up on the Syracuse side of the rivalry, I'll always remember game day of a Syracuse v. Georgetown show down. 30,000+ people going nuts at the Carrier Dome is deafening. RIP Coach Thompson.

John Thompson and his family were regulars at Ray's the Steaks when I worked there. They were super nice people and were always greeted enthusiastically by the other customers.
