Georgetown's Ed Cooley acknowledges lack of success as season begins

Georgetown men's basketball coach Ed Cooley, in his fourth year, faces challenges as the team was ranked 10th in the Big East preseason polls. Cooley, with a record of 16-44 against conference opponents since leaving Providence, emphasizes the need for improvement without excuses. His previous success at Providence contrasts sharply with Georgetown's struggles, where NCAA rule changes have hindered his player development strategies. Following a season with notable performances, including a comeback win against Providence, Georgetown must now address roster changes and find immediate replacements for departing talent as the new season commences.
