Talk about Intimidating
Imagine being a Georgetown parent. Your 18 year old son has just made one of the most historic and famous college basketball teams in the entire nation. You buy you blue and silver pom-poms, you get your Michael Jordan licensed jersey's, you get your Hoyas seat cushion. You show up for the first parents meeting and you have the cookies and punch, or whatever they put out. You wear your name tag, introduce yourself to the parents that are there and you wait. In walks three parents that don't need a tag, because they are living legends. Imagine seeing John Thompson II, Patrick Ewing Sr., and Doc Rivers show up to parents night. How do you even approach them? How do you even talk to them about basketball? In case you didn't know John Thompson II was the coach when the Hoyas last won the NCAA Title in 1985, he coached Patrick Ewing Sr., his son is current head coach John Thompson III. Patrick Ewing Sr. needs no introduction. A man who stands seven feet tall, holds numerous Georgetown records and a National Championship ring. His son is an emerging superstar who will surely follow in Daddy's footsteps, #33 Patrick Ewing Jr. Then there is Doc Rivers, yes his Celtics are on pace to have the worst record in NBA history, and yes he might not be there next year, but he still knows basketball. His son Jerimah is young pure shooter who has the potential to be great. This is the Hoyas parent association. No other team can even touch them.
