Colonialcrester Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 I met him in Bloomington during the Olympic tryouts in 1984. I still remember thinking what a big man he was! Pretty nice guy too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobSaccamanno Posted September 4, 2020 Report Share Posted September 4, 2020 Georgetown has never been my favorite basketball team and their image has mostly been out of step with the academic reputation of the school. But, Thompson has been a a great mentor for his kids and a very good ambassador for their program and the sport in general. He’s been a noble guy. RIP.
