 WASHINGTON (AP) - With the game ball from the previous night tucked preciously under his arm, John Thompson III stepped off the bus Monday to cheers, chants and a hug from the mayor in front of the old gym on Georgetown's campus.
"I hope no one's missing class to be here," Thompson III said, half-jokingly, as the crowd of 150 or so surrounded him and his players in the parking lot.
Moments later, Thompson's father walked briskly through the crowd with considerably less fanfare, using his well-worn collection of four-letter words to shoo away anyone with a camera or a notepad.
