One of Georgetown's most popular athletes of his day, Jackie Maloney's time as head basketball coach is, like the man himself, all but forgotten today.

A star athlete at Boston's Dorchester HS, Maloney followed his high school coach, John O'Reilly, to Washington in 1914. He starred for two seasons on the Georgetown football team as a quarterback and punter, though there is no record of him playing basketball.

Though his did not complete his degree studies, Maloney remained at GU as an assistant football coach under Albert Exendine. Upon the continued illness of John O'Reilly in 1922, Maloney was tapped to lead the basketball team, where the club turned in an 8-3 record. O'Reilly returned in the fall of 1923, whereupon Maloney served as head football coach that season and resigned following a 3-6 finish. The circumstances of Maloney's departure were not publicized.

Despite his reported popularity, Maloney disappeared from the Georgetown consciousness. There is no further reference to him in any news accounts or alumni communications--the 1957 alumni directory lists him as simply having "no address". Anecdotal evidence suggests Maloney relocated to Boston and raised a family there, as a John H. Maloney Jr. graduated from Boston College in 1950.

Per Social Security records, Jackie Maloney died in 1971 at the age of 74.
