“John Thompson III is one of the fi nest coaches in the country. There, I said it. I’d love for someone to debate me on that subject. He was able to maintain excellence at Princeton and in one year made Georgetown relevant again. is a coach’s game. Few coaches who have begun their careers in the past 10 years have or will have as much of an impact as JT3.’’ – Andy Katz, ESPN.com Staff

“In a very short time, John Thompson III has injected new life into Team Georgetown’s program. His has translated very well into BIG EAST success and he is generating a lot of buzz on the recruiting circuit. John is a great teacher, motivator and communicator, and I know he will take the Hoyas back to the heights they enjoyed under his father.” – Seth Davis, eiw rdto Rcrs poet G tltc Media GU Athletics Opponents Records Tradition Review

“John Thompson III has rekindled the fl ame his father ignited at Georgetown, turning the Hoyas into a national contender in a relatively short period of time with some heavyweight recruiting and his intelligently conceived vision of the Princeton style offense. This is a program that is destined to reach the Final Four within the next fi ve years and a coach who seems destined to become one of the best ever in the BIG EAST.” – Dick Weiss,

“I knew him at Princeton and I knew he understood the game. I’m very impressed with his mature outlook as a coach. He’s certainly a coach that really has a lot of depth and qual- ity. He came in with an idea of what he wanted to run, he’s gotten some very talented kids to commit to his philosophy and he’s shown his abilities by making adjustments. He’s his own man, and yet he was smart enough to listen and learn from his father and from Pete (Carill) and put it into the mix that is John the Third.” – Bill Raftery, Analyst, ESPN and CBS

“All of those Georgetown fans who have patiently waited for the school to duplicate the formula for basketball success of the mid-1980s – when the Hoyas ruled the college game – may fi nally get their wish ... There’s an imposing , John Thompson is the head coach and is on the roster.” – Tom Luicci, Lindy’s College Basketball Preview

“Congratulations to Georgetown. They are superb. I can say we didn’t do this or didn’t do that, but I think the story of the game is what they did ... We could not match their inten- sity for a whole half. That doesn’t happen ... John and his kids played with all their heart for 40 minutes -- a very, very impressive performance.” – Duke Head Coach following Georgetown’s 87-84 win on January 21
