Ed Cooley, former head coach of Providence, has taken on the challenge of coaching Georgetown's struggling basketball program. Cooley, a disciple of John Thompson's, feels the weight of Black excellence and the immensity of history at Georgetown. Despite the difficulties, Cooley is confident that he can bring change and win. In his debut game as Georgetown coach, the Hoyas defeated Division I newcomer Le Moyne with a commanding lead at halftime.

Georgetown is the hardest job Ed Cooley has had, he says, because of the confluence of tradition, expectation and ground to make up. Hard, but not impossible. "We’re going to win. It’s not a matter of if, it’s when." @DanaONeilWriter on the adjustment: https://t.co/xG7iSwKwKI https://t.co/xFvhYzwkCz
In 12 seasons under Ed Cooley, Providence went from sporadic NCAA Tournament berths to regular bid winners. So why leave for a struggling Georgetown program? "I needed a change." @DanaONeilWriter on the expectations Cooley has walked into: https://t.co/xG7iSwKwKI https://t.co/j9JJPBBDN0
Ed Cooley seemed to have it all at Providence — a program on the come up, a devoted fan base. And he rejected it all. In coming to Georgetown, Cooley felt not just the immensity of history, but the weight of Black excellence, being a disciple of John Thompson’s. So can he win?
