Georgetown Coach Ed Cooley Suspended for Incident Involving Child at Game
Ed Cooley, the head basketball coach for Georgetown, has been suspended for one game following an incident where he threw a water bottle that struck a child during a game against Xavier. The incident occurred after Georgetown's 80-77 loss, when Cooley, frustrated by the outcome, tossed the bottle into the stands, hitting a mother and her child. Cooley has publicly apologized and acknowledged that his actions were out of character. Georgetown's athletics director emphasized that such conduct does not meet the university's standards. Cooley, now in his third season with the Hoyas, will be replaced by associate head coach Jeff Battle for the next game against Coppin State.
