Legendary Georgetown coach John Thompson Jr. dies at age 78

[Totally Tunsie]

14. John Thompson was a giant of a man in more ways than one.

I had the pleasure of knowing "JT" during his Junior and Senior years at Providence College, as I was attending Bryant - a small school next to Brown and near PC. Even in his young years, he was the kindest person, a willing Big Bro to anyone who needed one. It was a delight and pleasure - but certainly no surprise - to see him grow and prosper in his player and coaching careers, and yet he remained the same level person he had always been.

RIP, John.
