Georgetown holds make-up session with Chinese team

Georgetown basketball coach John Thompson III and two of his players held a make-up session with the coach and two players from the Chinese military team, the Bayi Rockets, on Friday, the morning after a chair-throwing, on-court brawl that led to an abrupt end to their exihibition game on Thursday, the Washington Post reported.

Players Jason Clark and Hollis Thompson represented Georgetown at the brief meeting that took place at Beijing Capital Airport shortly before the Hoyas left for Shanghai, where the team will spend the five days of its goodwill tour of China.

Coach Adi Jiang and players Chen Yu and Lehei De were in the Bayi contingent, and the meeting centered around letting go of any bad feelings between the two teams.

The sides exchanges autographed basketballs, and Jiang showing Thompson pictures of his family. Thompson suggested perhaps Chinese youths could come to the United States to attend Georgetown's summer basketball camp next year.
