point $G$ is the barycenter of an acute triangle $\triangle ABC$ ,if $\overline{BG}\perp \overline{CG}$
prove $cot\,\, B +cot\,\, C\geq \dfrac {2}{3}$

hint :
construct points $M,\,\,and \,\,H\,\, on \,\,\overline {BC}$
where $M$ is the midpoint of $\overline {BC}$ and $\overline{AH}\perp \overline {BC}$
