BIOGRAPHYAs a high school junior, Iverson played quarterback for the Bethel High School football team, leading the team to the state championship.
In spring 1994, Georgetown basketball coach John Thompson visited Iverson at Hampton's Bethel High School.
Iverson said of Thompson, "Coach was like a father figure to me, right off hand...it just clicked. Ninety percent of having an relationship with him is things that occur off-court. He helped me through last year. I didn't want to come here and just do anything. Any problems that I have, I can go to him and he'll sit down and listen. It is a lot more than player-coach between us. I don't think I could have made it through last year without him." Thompson said of Iverson, "He did all I expected him to do last year. When he didn't, we sat down and talked."
At Georgetown, Iverson won two Big East Defensive Player of the Year awards, a Rookie Tournament 1st Team, and a gold medal for his win at the World University Games in Japan in 1995. Iverson led all USA players in scoring and assists, averaging 16.7 points per game and 6.1 assists per game. He was also the Hoyas' all-time leading scorer.
As his family situation worsened, Iverson needed to turn pro early, which meant leaving school before graduating. Iverson was the first of just two basketball players, Victor Page being the other, to leave Georgetown early for the NBA under Thompson.
