First-year Georgetown coach Ed Cooley reacted to a heckler when the Hoyas matched up with the Seton Hall basketball team in New Jersey
The Georgetown Hoyas have traditionally been known for their winning ways, particularly on the basketball court, but it hasn’t been a winning season. As an opponent’s fan heckled the head coach, Ed Cooley, on the team’s struggle, the coach responded to him by blurting out that he’s “rich as a motherf**ker.”
To which the Georgetown coach replied, “You know what, I’m rich as a motherf**ker. I’m rich as sh**.”
Student-fan to Cooley: “That’s $7 million per win.”Cooley walked over and said: “You know what, I’m rich as a motherfucker. I’m rich as shit.”I swear that just happened.
Carino reported that after the game, Cooley spoke about the incident, and he stated he was having fun with the heckler when he commented.
“Kids are going to be kids. I have a problem when adults don’t act like adults. When they’re students, say whatever you want. I always try to have a good interaction with the kids. You know what, they deserve a comment every now and then. Why not have some fun with them? The game was already over, and you know what? They all got a pretty good chuckle out of it.”
