Coaches’ poll places Georgetown in top 8
Ed Cooley is fielding tons of questions at BIG EAST Media Day about his March defection from the Providence Friars to your Georgetown Hoyas and the focal point of his answer is “Change.” In his interviews, Cooley underscores that both he and Georgetown needed “change” and this “change” can do wonders to reinvigorate a coaching staff, a fan base, a school, and maybe even a whole city.
One piece of news that speaks volumes of the respect his peers have for Cooley to effect this “change” is that—after GU going 2-38 in conference play over the past two years—Cooley’s Hoyas were picked 8th in the BIG EAST Coaches’ Poll, ahead of DePaul, Butler, and Seton Hall.
The last two seasons a team picked to finish 7th or lower has earned the 1 seed in the Big East Tournament
2023 Marquette was picked 9th, finished 1st
2022 Providence was picked 7th, finished 1st https://t.co/d1np02ZcKV— Bobby Bancroft (@BobbyBancroft) October 24, 2023
Cooley spoke about the Georgetown rebuild and the hopeful symbiosis of growing with the fans (encouragin the purchase of season tickets). He also reiterated his love for his hometown of Providence and the program he built there, rooting for the best with new coach Kim English. And with the BIG EAST expected to be as competitive as it will be, Cooley admitted that it really will be a tough year to make the “change” he needs.
Ed Cooley, unfiltered:
“Was it hard to leave? 1000%. But Georgetown is change. And change is healthy. I understand the bitterness that comes with that. I promise you I’m excited to go back there this year. But I’m not apologizing for taking care of my life. End of discussion.” pic.twitter.com/QJJfBNf47O

Cooley talks with John Fanta and the panel (at about 2 hours and 40 minutes in) and addresses important topics like Dunkin Donuts coffee, the long days of campaign lifestyle, and Supreme Cook’s deep voice. Jayden Epps is interviewed right after and conveys his great relationship with coach and how he followed Cooley to Georgetown.

Ed Cooley: “When I go back to Providence on the 27th, it’ll be an overwhelming feeling I’m gonna anticipate. I can feel the anger and I get it, I understand it. But in our world of change, change is okay. Providence College gave me an incredible opportunity to be on this stage.”

Ed Cooley: “I totally understand the anger, what they feel as a betrayal. I get it, I’ll internalize that. But until all of them sit in my seat and understand what change is, I can go to bed knowing that.” #Hoyas #pcbb

LOL. Sleeper with 87 walk ons? Try again, Jon. Amazing how Cooley was at his ceiling at Providence (3-7 NCAAT in 12 years and 1 S16) when the program has been to 2 E8’s and 1 FF in the last ~35 years but all the sudden he’s a HOF’er who will make Georgetown good in 2023-24 https://t.co/FmzRkOnvCm pic.twitter.com/fOWaQi7Qr7
