Coach Cooley’s bottle toss stirs up Georgetown crowd

Tempers flared at Capital One Arena when Georgetown’s head coach Ed Cooley, frustrated after a tough loss to Xavier, accidentally hit a young fan with a water bottle he threw in disappointment. Cooley quickly owned up to the mistake, apologizing directly to the Iwuchukwu family and the entire Georgetown community, calling his actions “totally out of character.” It’s not the first heated moment between these teams, and with another matchup on the horizon, fans are wondering: how should coaches handle high-pressure moments, and what’s the right way to make amends? #Sports #Georgetown #EdCooley
