VT should have played in NIT. 19-13 was not a bad season. Not ideal, but it
was an improvement over previous season and playing in NIT would have given VT a chance to win more games. I have no idea how it happened, or why VT did not play in NIT. I don't care about any excuses (player injuries, player opt outs, player votes - it's all total BS!). If VT had 5 healthy bball players on the team, then we should have played in NIT - no matter what. The most pathetic thing Justin Fuente ever did was opt out of bowl game and I wanted him fired immediately after that happened. If CMY let this happen then he should retire and we start over. If Whit is to blame, then ditto. If VT really let the players decide which I've read on here, then both CMY and Whit should be gone. As a former coach, it is absolutely INEXCUSABLE to ever turn down a chance to continue your sports season - only quitters quit. That's my opinion and I'm sticking to it! I imagine that it's also most likely why Gurdak is leaving (why in the world would he want to play for a school that quits on a season - just pathetic!!) Ut Prosim includes those VT athletes that wear the VT uniform serving the VT community, students, and fans that have supported the VT team during the season/year(s)!!! It's just inexcusable to ever quit on a season!! I'm bummed we didn't more games, but honestly shocked that we ended up as quitters.
