John Thompson: Legendary Georgetown Coach Dies Age 78

Sports Illustrated host Robin Lundberg spoke with SI senior writer Jon Wertheim about John Thompson's lasting legacy.

Hall of Fame coach and Georgetown legend John Thompson has died at the age of 78. Of course, Thompson will be remembered for what he did as coach of the Hoyas, including leading the program to a national championship in 1984, but his impact goes way beyond that. Which is shown in part by the reverence his former players have for him
