Under Thompson, the Hoyas made it to three Final Fours in the 1980s. He also led the 1988 U.S. national team to an Olympic bronze medal.

With an ever-present white towel slung over his shoulder, Thompson led Georgetown for 27 seasons. He retired from coaching in 1999.

Sad news, I liked John Thompson. I loved those 1980s Georgetown teams.

Always recall the coach with his towel. Jerry Tarkanian, coach for the "Runnin Rebels", had a thing chewing on his towel during games. RIP JT.
