I’m assuming it will go in this order: new prez, new AD, new GM for MBB

then new coach? Will be interesting to see how this plays out.

Academic searches are slow.

I’d hope there are already some names on lists since it was expected

Steger to Sands was 13 months
UpperQuad • 04/10/26 10:07 AM ET
Then why the announcement that Sands would be retiring in a few months.
Atlee Hokie • 04/10/26 09:10 PM ET
I understand that timeline....
2hhoop3 • 04/10/26 10:35 AM ET
I doubt that. Should never take that long.**
Atlee Hokie • 04/10/26 09:14 AM ET
Rutgers and U Washington just did it in 8 months from start of search
Va AandM • 04/10/26 08:42 AM ET
Perhaps the search began before the news of Sands leaving?**
Hokie`79 • 04/10/26 08:11 AM ET
They may have a short list of recommendations
UpperQuad • 04/10/26 10:22 AM ET
Agree....I bet he told the Board of Visitors that he was....

Take control of the athletic department by relieving Whit of his job.**
Atlee Hokie • 04/10/26 09:16 AM ET
Some people just hate Sands.

Ending legacy admissions, COVID mandates, NOVA, Whit Babcock
WildTurkE • 04/10/26 08:02 AM ET
There's a LONG list of things I didn't like about his tenure and that list
vt90 • 04/10/26 09:31 AM ET
Legacy favor were banned shortly before Younkin signed the public U ban

Zanderhokie • 04/09/26 05:05 PM ET
What is pecking order for MBB coach & GM?
HokieDelNorte • 04/10/26 07:02 AM ET
College is different from the pros
UpperQuad • 04/10/26 09:44 AM ET
I thought GM was big part of roster due to NIL?**
HokieDelNorte • 04/10/26 01:30 PM ET
I would think coach goes first, otherwise you limit your candidate pool**
