Georgetown's Ed Cooley advises reporters to 'grow up' and ask tough questions after Rutgers loss

Georgetown men’s basketball coach Ed Cooley gave unsolicited advice to "young writers" at his press conference following the Hoyas’ 71-60 loss to Rutgers in Piscataway, New Jersey, on Wednesday night.

Cooley and a few Hoyas players sat down for the postgame presser for nearly eight minutes after the loss and appeared annoyed over the questions he faced from reporters in the room.

"You have an opportunity when you’re sitting in a room like this," he told the room of reporters. "The only way you’re going to get better is by having the courage to ask a question in these types of situations. So if you guys are sitting there, don’t just sit there like a lump on a log.

"Have a great question, grow up and learn what it is to ask a tough question. Seriously. We owe you an answer or you owe yourself an opportunity to grow. I say that to all of you young writers. Don’t sit in here and just be in awe. This s--- is real. Grow up, you’re in the room, learn how to ask some questions. … I’m out."

It is unclear what Cooley was looking for as the Hoyas dropped to 1-2 on the season.

US Border Patrol agent killed in ATV crash while responding to call about suspected illegal immigrants

A U.S. Border Patrol agent was killed Tuesday night after his ATV crashed while responding to a call about suspected illegal immigrants near the U.S.-Mexico border in Arizona, authorities said.

The all-terrain vehicle crashed around 7:10 p.m. near Chino Road and West 5th Street in Douglas, the Cochise County Sheriff’s Office said.

"The information received indicated that the sole occupant involved was a United States Border Patrol Agent assigned to the Douglas Station, Tucson Sector," the sheriff’s office said.

The agent, identified as 44-year-old Freddy Ortiz, was heading westbound along International Avenue in response to reports of illegal immigrants near the border. No further details about the call were immediately available.

At some point, authorities said Ortiz’s ATV left the roadway and struck a fixed light pole.

First responders rushed Ortiz to Copper Queen Hospital in Douglas, where he was pronounced dead.

"U.S. Border Patrol Agent Freddy’s Ortiz’s on-duty death is a tragedy and a stark reminder of the dangerous nature of our mission" said John Modlin, chief patrol agent for Tucson Sector. "I am grateful for all the Border Patrol Agents, first responders, and medical staff who attempted to save his life. My thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, and loved ones."

Cochise County Sheriff Mark Dannels also shared condolences for Ortiz.

"It is an incredibly sad day for our brothers and sisters in Border Patrol and we have only the highest level of respect for the job these brave souls do every single day," Dannels said. "God bless all of those in his work family and his home family, and know we are here if you need us."

Tucson Sector covers 262 border miles from the New Mexico state line to Yuma County and is noted to be one of the busiest sectors in the country in illegal immigrant apprehensions.
