He is a good ball coach, no question. Seems the job now is about 20% ball

coach, unfortunately. You can't win in the ACC with the pg play we have gotten, pretty simple. This season the 1 gripe I would have is why play Wessler so much. Go smaller and rotate Burnham, Lawal and Poteat at the 4/5. Certainly not ideal but much better than what they've been doing imo. Burham is really underutilized on this team, guy has limitations but competes harder than anyone, and you can see the energy rise across the board when he is in the game.

He is a good coach. Shame not everybody agrees **
VaTechHokiesACC • 01/24/25 04:31 AM ET
Only the trolls and former church league basketball "all stars" disagree on
ancient alien 2018 • 01/24/25 07:05 PM ET
Amen **
HokiesACC2004 • 01/24/25 07:06 PM ET
Boeheim seemed as excited to be doing that game as i am to goto the dentist
AnotherTechW • 01/23/25 10:00 PM ET
Boeheim is useless on the broadcast, make that less than useless...
santafe • 01/24/25 09:20 AM ET
The man is 80 years old. I am impressed that he still cares**
OrlandoHokie • 01/23/25 11:46 PM ET
Boeheim's not thrilling, but he doesn't blow smoke either.
marcbvtgm • 01/23/25 10:39 PM ET
CMY is a great ball coach. However Bo whine is not someone’s whose opinion
uber hokie • 01/23/25 08:35 PM ET
Unfortunately CMY's system requires players stay and learn over 4-5 years**
MDHokie79 • 01/23/25 02:47 PM ET
Someone posted most of our starters last year already had their next gigs
Maroon Effect • 01/23/25 07:02 PM ET
It’s true that there is tampering, not sure if or how many of our guys it
NC Hoke • 01/23/25 08:08 PM ET
4 or 5 years would be optimal..
GCHokie34 • 01/23/25 05:14 PM ET
Is that really true (especially the 5 year part)?
GoldCoast • 01/23/25 03:41 PM ET
No, but like any coach, he needs more than 5 months with half the team
hoosnowahokie • 01/23/25 04:01 PM ET
The player dismissal was so predictable.
Pride_and_Joy • 01/23/25 04:22 PM ET
Yea, like all of your trolling, pathetic posts!! **
ancient alien 2018 • 01/24/25 06:44 PM ET
You always change the subject.
Pride_and_Joy • 01/25/25 09:45 AM ET
Maybe that was the best remaining PG egg**

GCHokie34 • 01/23/25 12:03 PM ET
No one questions his ability to coach ball.
Pride_and_Joy • 01/23/25 04:25 PM ET
Maybe he is paid to coach ball and fans expect the management for free**

Try some of the macaroni salad also. Nicole will be offended otherwise.**
KCHokie2 • 01/23/25 10:50 PM ET
If you say so. Or he’s poorly suited to manage
Pride_and_Joy • 01/23/25 06:11 PM ET
This reminds me of a scene in Moneyball

Very much agree. He obviously doesn’t have a great

Agreed. Has to be frustrating. In his on-air words "Golly. Gosh!"**

I agree but the last level someone who loves "coaching" basketball should

vtfin91 • 01/23/25 11:49 AM ET
VTs undoubtedly best lineup is with Burnham and Lawal at 4 and 5

You don’t think he’s gone no matter
Pride_and_Joy • 01/23/25 04:33 PM ET
Jones a lost cause? Coming in thought was highly skilled, in time...
GoldCoast • 01/23/25 03:55 PM ET
You've asked this question a half dozen times !!! NO! HE'S NOT A LOST CAUSE**
ancient alien 2018 • 01/24/25 06:47 PM ET
So what do you think of Jones? **
GoldCoast • 01/25/25 11:49 AM ET
Jones is absolutely not a lost cause
GCHokie34 • 01/23/25 04:30 PM ET
Can you please provide your assessment of Pat since you mentioned centers?**
IB4TECH • 01/23/25 03:43 PM ET
Huge improvement
GCHokie34 • 01/23/25 04:28 PM ET
Lawal wants to be a 4 I take it no matter what?**
atlhokie1 • 01/23/25 02:24 PM ET
That's his only shot at the next level...
GCHokie34 • 01/23/25 10:21 PM ET
Lawal is a 4, and we need to keep him there.**
VT ChemE 1986 • 01/23/25 02:47 PM ET
What has happened to Jones. He has played maybe 20 minutes all year**
Nelsonia Hokie • 01/23/25 01:50 PM ET

vthhhi • 01/23/25 11:56 AM ET
Kids grow up practicing open 3s. Not contested layups against big bodies.**

An open 3 is an easier shot than a highly contested point blank shot with
