Anyone having forum/board issues? Threads when in a thread (below reply)

Threads below the reply box are all ------- lines and no way to expand. Has really diminished my capacity to use the boards. Happened...maybe a month ago? Chrome app up to date. Pixel 8 Pro Android OS (no updates pending) ** Edited by CPVT3 at 4/12/2026, 9:16:32 AM

Me too. Seems like we went all in on football.

Needed to revamp Cassell a few years ago Now we can't afford anything

I mean...HIS philosophy to not coach how to finish games...

Passing into the corner to get trapped Not teaching how to waste time for an otherwise statistical win Potentially (because I don't know the call) having Hammond play for a foul in Miami I just don't think he's some elite XOs coach that people think

It's his identity. A feature, not a bug.

No money for a new coach, and he keeps us interested. I bet he'll stay on for a while.

I get it, but all teams have injuries

How many games have we played with the wrong starters? The ACC championship run was the outlier, and it was badass

I'm not expecting a change. But this is CMY. He's average.

So we'll get average results. Same team, different coach, I would expect a different and better record.

😂

In fairness, not sure we have $ right now for a new basketball staff

It's fairly rare to get that call though

We play too much Luka ref complaining sometimes (I agree with you for what it's worth)

Just a series of unfortunate events

Neo with a few soft pass TOs Hansberry trying to bully on the inside 3+ times with nothing to show for it Etc. We just can't get it going

Where does this ideology come from?

"He’s fortunate he’s got one of the better basketball psychologists on the bench in Mike Young." Objectively? I think MY is a nice guy, but I don't agree that he's a basketball psychologist. Case in point, this team STRUGGLES to close games.

...

Pedulla left and had similar stats to be honest but with a better overall team. That's the difference. Collins was young, transferred, and progressed as a player. Let's turn this on its head: - Maybe Coach Young isn't a good enough coach to get what he needs out of these players and/or properly motivate them. - Maybe Coach Young isn't an average coach with variance (my opinion). He seems to always fall to the mean as seasons progress. - I don't agree with booing a player, but if your coach, former player, and current player mention it, it's obviously become a distraction to the team and the player (Neo). Coach Young needs to teach his players how to tune out the noise. - This was supposed to be a marquee season. We're struggling to make the tournament. I understand the frustration, especially giving up two easy wins (SMU, Stanford).

I don't understand the blame to general VT fans

I'm not making death threats. I doubt anyone on these boards are. And if people actually are, let's out them forever. F those people. Otherwise, we are allowed to criticize players -- more than ever because they're being paid. Objectively, he's probably our 5th best player. Hammond, Lawal, Schutt, Bedford have been very good for this team (Bedford seems to have found his shot again). In ACC play aside from Stanford, Neo has been below average overall. Bad decisions, turnovers, almost always short on his shots, step back 3s wasting a possession, etc. There's a reason that he was not playing to end the Louisville game. He is 19, and I think he's an overall decent player but the change in play/competition is not working for him. It's more than scouting. Honestly, if I was scouting him, I would barely guard his 3; I would guard Hansberry more at 3. Separately, do I want him on the team. It's okay to constructively criticize players, and if their agents or family take offense and want to transfer, 👋

And Schutt trap throwaway (same as last loss)

I don't blame Lawal dunk attempt, I think he thought it was 100% sure thing Our out of bounds press passing is horrible off the first pass Very poorly coached end of game
