		Thompson's college athletes were known for their aggressive playing styles as well as for their commitment to academic achievement at their elite Catholic institution.
		Thompson, an imposing figure on the sidelines who towered over many opposing coaches (and players, for that matter), was often noted for the trademark white towel that he carried on his shoulder during the games, a color which his critics took symbolic meaning from.
		Under Thompson, 26 players were chosen in the NBA Draft, eight in the first round including two players selected first overall, Ewing by the New York Knicks in 1985 and Iverson by the Philadelphia 76ers in 1996.

		A few months ago, in the kitchen near his office at Georgetown University, John Thompson was watching a hot debate among three extremely large, famous NBA players -- all of whom went to his college for the entire four years.
		Thompson says Allen Iverson will not leave Georgetown for the NBA after his sophomore year "unless I tell him to go." It is typical Thompson bravado; he makes his point -- nationwide -- and also cuts off a distracting discussion on the eve of the Big East Tournament.
		Thompson's strongest quality may be the relish with which he uses the influence he has over his players.

	Big Ten Wonk - a hoops blog by john gasaway
		A coach in basketball has significantly less in-game control than a football coach (who calls the play or the defense before each snap) or a manager in baseball (who can call each pitch).
		The next time you hear an analyst talking about a coach in glowing terms more appropriate for a chess grand master, think of said coach instead as having roughly the same degree of control over his team that you have over your golf shots.
		A report in the Spokane, WA, Spokesman-Review states that both Michigan and Iowa contacted Washington State coach Tony Bennett and that the Wolverines were "especially vigorous" in their pursuit of the 37-year-old coach.
