Hoya Saxa quoted Matt Norlander as saying the following:
Norlander suggests the rebuild at Georgetown was visible to anyone outside the program, but few within it, noting "a place with notorious dysfunction and outdated practices on how to operate a men's basketball program."
"There are factors working in his favor and against," he continued. "He has a fantastic recruiting territory, but Georgetown has the worst home environment in the Big East. He'll never have in D.C. what he built at [Providence]. Georgetown is a job with a high ceiling, but the place is not wired for a quick turnaround. If Cooley gets the Hoyas into the NCAA Tournament by Year 3, it would be astounding. Will he have the patience for it? If we check in two years from now and Cooley is on his way to another season at or below .500, what then?"
Hmm
