BSC Speaker Dinner of 2025!
Wednesday, November 5, 2025
Welcoming Craig Esherick as our Speaker
We are looking forward to having Craig Esherick as our November speaker. Craig, the former Georgetown Men's Basketball Head Coach, will preview the upcoming NCAA basketball season, and give us a tutorial on the transfer portal and NIL money.
Currently Craig is a professor at George Mason University in their Sports Management Program. He also does color commentary, both TV and radio, for the George Mason Patriots men's basketball team.
Craig was an All-Met basketball player at Springbrook High in Silver Spring, Maryland and then went on to play four years at Georgetown. He went to Georgetown Law School thereafter and after graduating became John Thompson's lead assistant coach, becoming Georgetown's head coach when Thompson retired in 1999, winning 103 games before Craig stepped down in 2004.
Craig has lived in Arlington for the last 35 years, chaired the Arlington Sports Commission for 4 years, received the BSC Sportsperson of the Year Award in 2021 and was inducted into the Arlington Sports Hall of Fame in 2022.
We hope you will join Craig and your fellow BSC for a fun discussion. Invite a friend! A reception with a cash bar will open at 6:15pm, followed by dinner at 7pm. The cost of the dinner will be $35. The Knights of Columbus is located at 5115 Little Falls Road, Arlington, VA 22207.
Reservations in advance are required. Reserve your space and purchase dinner today!
