As Georgetown fell 80–77 to Xavier on Saturday night, Hoyas coach Ed Cooley was visibly frustrated with the outcome. He couldn’t keep his cool as he threw his water bottle towards Georgetown’s bench, but it flew into the stands and accidentally hit a child, who was sitting in his mother’s lap.
After the loss, Cooley opened his post-game press conference with an apology to the family he hurt. He planned to reach out to them afterwards, too, with a more direct apology.
