RIP John Thompson

[Dove]

Remember when the BE went to 6 fouls? I think GTown was a reason.

RIP One of the greats on and off the court.

Math challenged?

Yes. Apparently.

Growing up a UConn fan Jimmy B and John are the two most memorable opposing coaches. However, I do not think I realized just how huge the guy was! (The guy next to him was....drum roll please....

......Alonzo Mourning, huge in his own right, but John towers even over him!!)

To say he “was the Big East“ is ridiculous.

Agreed, which is why I said no person or team can make a great league, but to say there were others just as important during that time period is almost as ridiculous.

Rest in Peace, Coach! It was tough to not like you.

Remember being at the sweater game. Finally showed a different side of him and the mutual respect between him and Louie
