Georgetown has hired former Providence coach Ed Cooley to lead the Hoyas men’s basketball program, the school announced Monday afternoon.
ESPN’s Pete Thamel first reported the two sides had “positive conversations,” while Stadium’s Jeff Goodman subsequently said Cooley was “on verge” of leaving the Friars for the Hoyas.
“I plan on hitting the ground running, getting to work on the court and cultivating relationships in and around the District,” Cooley said in a statement. “Accepting this opportunity with Georgetown is not a decision I took lightly, and was made in careful consideration with my wife and family.”
