The men’s and women’s basketball teams – both defending Atlantic 10 champions – return to the court this month for their first games of the season. We checked in with Men's Coach Karl Hobbs and Women's Coach Joe McKeown to get their thoughts on what lies ahead.


GW women’s basketball assistant coach and team alum Tajama Ngongba, BA ’97, is buff and blue from head to toe – well, at least to her finger tips. She had a manicurist paint her nails blue with yellow tips to show GW pride. And it doesn’t stop there.
When Greg Collucci, BBA ’04, came to GW in 2000, little did he know that eight years later he would be spending afternoons in the Charles E. Smith Athletic Center, basketball in hand. Collucci, a member of the men’s basketball team from 2000 to 2004, is now in his second season as an assistant coach under Karl Hobbs.
John Capasso, MHSA ’89, was appointed president and chief executive officer of Catholic Health East’s new Continuing Care Management Services Network. CHE is the fourth largest Catholic health system in the nation.
