Great info. Another question or two for you.

CMY's teams have tended to take a while to gel, generally playing much better later in the season. Given the perceived weakness of the ACC, early season non-conference games have now become more critical to building an NCAA tourney resume. How do you think that this team will do early in the season? What can CMY do to improve early season?

Changing the System...

Can they defend? I think that's why we didn't make NCAA tournment in
icelus • 06/28/25 12:27 PM ET
When your best defender is injured, it kinda hurts your ability to defend.
hokieZ71 • 06/29/25 08:37 AM ET
Certainly cost them a bid in 2022-23 & 23-24.**

Seems to me he didn't so much change system, but tweaked it / adjusted it

Pay article worthy stuff **
HokiesACC2004 • 06/27/25 02:42 PM ET
I agree. This is great stuff
mateo • 06/27/25 07:22 PM ET
Yeah, this board is pretty much dead most of the time. **
SC_Hokie • 06/29/25 02:59 PM ET
Much appreciated. Some couldnt handle so many words**

Great coaches tweak, not overhaul
1980VT • 06/27/25 11:18 AM ET
Do you think we will see more high post touches to initiate the offense
Gobbler95 • 06/27/25 10:35 AM ET
I do think so...
GCHokie34 • 06/27/25 12:57 PM ET
Why didn't MY abandon the high post and free up the wings another way? **
jrc3rd • 06/27/25 03:42 PM ET
Because freeing up the wings isn't the only goal
GCHokie34 • 06/27/25 03:55 PM ET
It’s also easier to “lift” post defenders when the posts can shoot
hokiepro • 06/27/25 11:56 PM ET
Thank you, great read.**
Tech76G • 06/27/25 05:18 AM ET
A lot of words, indeed, but informative and worth the read. Thanks**
Jmac610 • 06/27/25 01:12 AM ET
Basketball guys sure load up on words when they explain. **
Stork • 06/27/25 12:38 PM ET
Some like to hear themselves type ! **
uber hokie • 06/28/25 09:58 PM ET
Last time I checked there’s only a few who routinely fill this board.
SC_Hokie • 06/29/25 03:01 PM ET
I liked the lengthy explanation.
Walkin` Willie • 06/28/25 01:30 PM ET
Awww too many words? So sowwy**
GCHokie34 • 06/27/25 12:49 PM ET
Hey, no problem. I believe the term is prolix. We learned in freshman
Stork • 06/27/25 01:35 PM ET
Yes, if there's one thing we know...
GCHokie34 • 06/27/25 01:41 PM ET
Quite an AH.**
Blueboy • 06/27/25 10:13 PM ET
You're absolutely correct about ORing. That was very noticeable last year.**
IB4TECH • 06/26/25 07:32 PM ET
Great info. Another question or two for you. ◄
win-tech • 06/26/25 07:14 PM ET
If it were up to me...
GCHokie34 • 06/26/25 08:05 PM ET
Any thoughts on the new 32-game schedule rule for 26-27?**
Chris ColemanAdmin • 06/27/25 09:17 AM ET
I think it depends on how teams use it
GCHokie34 • 06/27/25 12:30 PM ET
We also can't be stomped in the ACC-SEC Challenge.
EDGEMAN • 06/27/25 09:12 AM ET
I mean...sure
GCHokie34 • 06/27/25 12:42 PM ET
Some relevant comparisons...
GCHokie34 • 06/26/25 03:25 PM ET
Appreciate advanced info like this!
4dhokies • 06/26/25 04:55 PM ET
Good stuff. Thanks.**
