March 17, 200719 yr Is Gtown his dream job or would he be interested in moving up the coaching ladder?
March 17, 200719 yr His pops was the head man at Gtown during their glory days.....This is as good as it could get for him.
March 18, 200719 yr I think he feels GT is his home. His name goes deep into the halls of GT basketball.

March 18, 200719 yr Author :thumb: And there aren't many places to move "up" from where he's at any way... You don't think there is at least 10 places above Gtown as far as a "program"?
March 18, 200719 yr You don't think there is at least 10 places above Gtown as far as a "program"? In his situation, no way. He's recruiting at an elite level and in good position to be in the top 2 or 3 Big East teams over the next 5 years...

In no particular order: Duke UNC UCLA UK IU Kansas Florida Louisville Michigan St. UConn I don't see how you could argue that Gtown is a better job than any of those ten?
March 19, 200719 yr I don't see how you could argue that Gtown is a better job than any of those ten? I can argue with 99.9% certainty that for JTIII it is..
March 19, 200719 yr The Thompson name is legendary at GTown and his father was a basketball god there. I can't even imagine the recruiting ties he has not to mention the love of the city. He is currently at the TOP of the Big East, a #2 Seed in the big dance and sitting at the sweet sixteen primed for a championship run. His future looks as bright as his fathers was and I bet he's loving every second of it. JTIII will retire at GTown.
March 19, 200719 yr :thumb: And there aren't many places to move "up" from where he's at any way... I do think that there are better places than G-Town but I also believe that Thompson is very satisfied in where he is at. I don't see him leaving the Hoya's at all. His father was a great coach there and imo he will bring them back to ther glory they had under his father. Imo there a far more desirable jobs in the country but not to him.
March 19, 200719 yr In no particular order: Duke UNC UCLA UK IU Kansas Florida Louisville Michigan St. UConn I don't see how you could argue that Gtown is a better job than any of those ten? I agree these are better programs, but G-town is home to him.
March 19, 200719 yr You don't think there is at least 10 places above Gtown as far as a "program"? I think that what GT was saying is that there may very well be more programs above G.Town but there is no better situation to be in for Thompson than the one he is right now. He has everything in his favor and a move somewhere would be a decline compared to his current job. As it is now JT controlls his own situation.
