son, coach of one of the hottest
NCAA basketball team in the
country, the Georgetown Hoyas,
has been the focus of much media
attention as NCAA basketball
fever has swept the country.
Thompson, a giant of a man at
6’10”, whose large frame is only
overshadowed by his bigger than
life image, has wielded his in
fluence to help promote milk in the
Middle Atlantic Milk Marketing
Area.
The Advertising and Promotion
Agency of the Middle Atlantic Milk
Marketing Area, was able to sign
Thompson just prior to the NCAA
playoffs. The timely television
commercial featuring Thompson
debuted on March 16th and aired
throughout the playoffs, capturing
the wave of NCAA playoff en

the 30-second TV commercial,
which aired in the Philadelphia,
Harrisburg, Baltimore and
Washington markets, will resume
air play next winter during the
college basketball season.
John Thompson is a known milk
drinker. Drinking a quart of milk
after every Georgetown game is
quickly becoming as much his
trademark as the familiar towel
over his shoulder during every
game. John Thompson is a
respected coach and teacher, and
