Biography

Professor Esherick was a scholarship basketball player at Georgetown Ä¢¹½AV while earning an undergraduate Finance degree. He attended the Georgetown Ä¢¹½AV Law Center and also was a graduate assistant basketball coach for two of those years.

After graduating from law school and passing the DC Bar, 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 Ä¢¹½AV and held that position long enough to win 103 games. He worked briefly for AOL’s new online radio venture from 2004 until 2005, where he commented on-air about college basketball news and wrote articles for the AOL Sports website.

Professor Esherick took a job with a startup television network in New York in May of 2005; that network, CSTV, has now become CBS College Sports. Esherick came to Mason from NYU, where he taught in their Graduate Sports Management program for two years.
