Small sample size**

There's a reason its a small sample size**

Not quite right. Frankie Allen's first head coaching

Wasn't Stokes a 1st time HC, too? Just to further prove your point . . . **

If im not mistaken he came from East Carolina...
GCHokie34 • 10/07/25 03:03 PM ET
Holland hired him at ECU afterwards.**

Don’t hire your friends **

Stokes was an assistant at Wake Forest, Virginia and Texas before HC at VT**

It is working out ok for Scheyer

Um VT isn't exactly Duke. I think it is a helluva lot easier to be

Jay Bilas told me he thought Johnson would be fine. Oops.**

There's *something* different about the Duke job and VT job**
