Georgetown coach Ed Cooley says ‘shame on’ Big East coaches for snubbing Sorber in award vote

Associated Press  

The AP Top 25 men’s college basketball poll is back every week throughout the season! NEW YORK — Georgetown coach Ed Cooley had an ice-cold message for his Big East counterparts Wednesday night: shame on you. After the Hoyas were eliminated by DePaul in the first round of the conference tournament, Cooley took off on a tangent and called out his brethren who were responsible for awarding UConn forward Liam McNeeley the league’s Freshman of the Year trophy over Georgetown big man Thomas Sorber. “If a kid is the Big East rookie of the week seven times and the other kid is the Big East rookie of the week seven times, and they played about the same amount of games, one person had just as much production if not more, but had a major impact, not in the Big East, nationally — nationally — and he’s not recognized like that, shame on our coaches for not recognizing that. Big East head coaches vote for the league’s major individual awards and are not permitted to pick their own players.
