Ed Cooley making more enemies

[Samoo]

Cooley sounds like an idiot.

"My comment today was said in jest with one of my players, but I admit it was a poor choice of words," Cooley wrote. "I have the utmost respect for the University of Illinois, its men's basketball program, coaches and players."

Cooley calls comment about Illinois 'poor choice'

Georgetown coach Ed Cooley apologized on social media for a derogatory comment he made about Illinois after his team beat Saint Francis at home earlier Saturday.

Poor choices appear to be a common theme in Ed's life.

The most overrated coach in the country.

Three tournament wins in total? One second weekend appearance (His one appearance in the Sweet Sixteen is the pinnacle of his career)

He will improve Georgetown, but that's not saying much

He got the big one right.

Eh, it could be that Underwood or someone else did something to piss Cooley off. Usually, a coach says something like that when he’s got a grudge. In the portal, NIL and social media era, there could be any number of triggers.

I think this goes back to Cooley's PC days, he had that guard committed to PC and then he reneged went to Illinois. He feels there was tampering etc.

I am not convinced. DePaul is better.

Jayden Epps decommitted from PC in 2021 and committed to Illinois. Guessing he felt there were some untoward things happening: Schools entering the mix for four-star Providence decommit Jayden Epps

Gee, and I thought Ed was just expressing displeasure for how Underwood spirited Kofi Cockburn away from UConn at the 11th hour, which set in motion Dan Hurley's 'always have a backup plan' for recruiting losses, starting with Adama Sanogo.

Ha, Cooley, he's gotta be one.

For some of you, Ed Cooley, who needs a hat, is a brain worm.
