Welcome to our first Gameday Girl interview! On this episode I talk to my former professor, Craig Esherick, about NCAA men's basketball and the infamous pay for play debate.
Professor Esherick played basketball on scholarship at Georgetown University while earning an undergraduate Finance degree. From there he went on to gradate from law school at Georgetown University and also was a graduate assistant basketball coach for two of those years.
Post graduation, Professor Esherick became a full-time assistant coach at Georgetown for the men’s basketball team. His tenure as an assistant lasted 17 and a half years and included a stint as the assistant basketball coach for the USA Olympic team that won a bronze medal in the 1988 Seoul Olympics. He became the head basketball coach in 1999 at Georgetown University.
After his coaching career he worked as a writer and commentator on college basketball with AOL Sports and what is now known as CBS College Sports. Esherick is currently Associate Professor,
Associate Director, Center for Sport Management and Academic Program Coordinator, Sport Management at George Mason University.
