The notion that we couldn't get a better basketball coach is ludicrous ...

But I'm very good with Mike Young as our Coach. IF we can keep a core team together for a couple years he'll have us building a statue. Continue the NIL $upport...find a assistant to coach some defensive theory and fundamentals...and, oh yeah, a little better end game management and we would be debating seeding position as opposed to last four in or last four out.

There are no more corners to cut. **

no longer true in the age of NIL

How you spend your dollars is important too.

VT historical commitment to basketball is arguably the worse in the ACC
Vippie1 • 02/09/26 09:53 AM ET
Historical commitment doesn't mean that much. What is it today & tomorrow?**
marcbvtgm • 02/09/26 03:31 PM ET
it's up to the coach to sell a vision of the program
lazarus1 • 02/09/26 11:43 AM ET
Well that aint happening with either this coach or this AD
Vippie1 • 02/09/26 11:49 AM ET
Who knows, CMY may call it quits and move on...similar to TBennett.**
SCHokie80 • 02/09/26 05:26 AM ET
With one less Natty
Vippie1 • 02/09/26 09:45 AM ET
VT needs a coach that makes his players practice free throws. TIC**
MP4VT2004 • 02/08/26 07:50 PM ET
He might make them practice them. Free throws are weird things. If you

nkhooch • 02/09/26 01:34 AM ET
Or at least shows them an instructional video on doing so.

40ozDistrict • 02/08/26 06:48 PM ET
Yeah, I guess we won’t be dropping down a level now.
GoldCoast • 02/08/26 08:11 PM ET
I mean, Franklin is undefeated at VT, but let's not celebrate anything yet.**
MP4VT2004 • 02/08/26 08:35 PM ET
I'm willing to be patient.
KCHokie2 • 02/08/26 10:22 PM ET
Should be over by half-time
TomTurkey • 02/09/26 10:13 AM ET
Very fair. **
GoldCoast • 02/08/26 08:39 PM ET
We can celebrate the talent he's brought to the program. Good start.**

GCHokie34 • 02/08/26 04:50 PM ET
a new coach would be more likely to lose ground then gain ground without
Vippie1 • 02/09/26 02:36 PM ET
I think youre spot on about now vs 10-20 years ago...
GCHokie34 • 02/09/26 06:10 PM ET
The Orioles are my team
Vippie1 • 02/09/26 07:05 PM ET
You may not like comparisons I dunno but is MY a better coach than Brownell
HokieSA • 02/09/26 01:13 PM ET
Brownell went to 1 NCAAT in his first 7 years at Clemson...
GCHokie34 • 02/09/26 05:55 PM ET
I used Brownell moreso b/c of the program comparison VT to Clemson
HokieSA • 02/10/26 12:36 PM ET
Getting players, no matter how you rationalize it, the past decade has...

GCHokie34 • 02/08/26 08:41 PM ET
to say that we can't do better then MY's tenure is ludicrous
VermontDDS • 02/08/26 08:08 PM ET
Thanks, but none of that matters. There is new paradigm. $$$$, lots of $$$$
hok1eboy • 02/08/26 08:04 PM ET
CMY is a really good coach, NOT a magician…
Shbolf • 02/08/26 07:44 PM ET
VT wouldn't have got Franklin had it not greatly increased it's budget.

PhotoHokieNC • 02/08/26 05:46 PM ET
so basically you're saying we should be happy

You're welcome to feel however you'd like...
GCHokie34 • 02/08/26 05:48 PM ET
I'm not looking at a carousel of coaches..
lazarus1 • 02/08/26 11:41 PM ET
Great post and points. VT is just a unique situation**
DCL • 02/08/26 05:31 PM ET
Suppose every coach in America had exactly the same players
Squatro • 02/08/26 04:32 PM ET
Most of the posters don't ( and most of us can't and don't) know how much
ancient alien 2018 • 02/08/26 07:26 PM ET
Such a tired excuse. Sorry
extremehokie • 02/08/26 04:24 PM ET
Maybe we should cut all basketball funding
