Georgetown men’s basketball Coach Ed Cooley is feeling the heat.

The former PC coach is currently scraping the bottom of the Big East barrel in his first year with the Hoyas, and a heckler in the team’s road loss to Seton Hall Wednesday night apparently got under his skin. 

The Asbury Park Press reported that a fan yelled at Cooley that with his dismal 8-14 record overall — and 1-10 in the conference — he makes “7 million a win.”

Cooler reportedly fired back. 

“You know what, I’m rich as a motherf–ker,” Cooley responded. “I’m rich as s–t.”

According to Front Office Sports, Cooley now actually reportedly makes $6M year in DC. 

After the game, Cooley addressed the exchange, the Asbury Park Press went on to report. 

“Nothing gets under my skin, man,” Cooley said. “Think about this: I coach in the Big East at Georgetown University. What can get under my skin?”

“Kids are going to be kids," said Cooley. "I have a problem when adults don’t act like adults. When they’re students, say whatever you want. I always try to have a good interaction with the kids. You know what, they deserve a comment every now and then. Why not have some fun with them? The game was already over and you know what? They all got a pretty good chuckle out of it.”
