Man, Cooley loves to run his mouth. I would definitely pay to watch a steel cage match between him and Brad Underwood.

He should talk. Dude has been BAD at Georgetown. Focus on you and your team and don't denigrate others.

 

[storrsroars]

He's calling Illinois a BS school? Why?

 

[7774]

Not sure what he believe’s he accomplishing with that. Just a bizarre human all around at this point.

I remember a number of years ago, anytime anyone said anything negative about Cooley on this board, the PC lurkers would all over it, speak of how quality a person and coach EC was and call out the poster for what he wrote.

It appears that EC's true character has shown itself.

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.

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

Hilarious given he tampered with a bunch of our players and even had 2 leave our program for his in basically the same scenario.

Cooley talks a lot of trash for never having won anything significant.

 

[REB1094]

Is there some inside joke here that I don’t know, or is he just a jerk lol

 

[Devland]

Maybe he had money on Illinois against UConn in the tourney last year. I would be pissed too.

He's just an arrogant jerk.

Is that Bouknight’s brother on the left?

I thought the same thing, looks just like him.

Thank god a trunkful of championships has filtered out those morons.

 

[ConnecticutBB]

My belief is to never put down other programs..simply get on the court and proof your strengths with powerful plays.

 

[Waquoit]

Ehh, shade at Illinois? Horrors!

Maybe Underwood did something to entice Epps to leave PC?

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.
