of physical talent, mental focus and fatigue. No one thing and just the circumstances that exist. That perspective does not like or accept losing but, does recognize reality.

Interesting back and forth in below threads with regards to Mike Young's...

If you don’t think that first paragraph is “coaching”
st_andrew 02/22/23 06:45 PM ET
Yep, the coach is responsible for everything. The only question is if the
King of Hokies 02/23/23 11:22 AM ET
Ultimately I look at Young's tenure overall.
Chris ColemanAdmin 02/22/23 06:05 PM ET
How can you write that Young has done an “outstanding job”? No NCAA
Durham Hokie 02/22/23 06:15 PM ET
Take a look at the roster we had in his first year
HokieAl 02/22/23 08:10 PM ET
Seth and Buzz each actually had 1 tournament win
Pylons 02/22/23 06:24 PM ET
Buzz had 2, but understand your point.**

bobbythehokie 02/22/23 05:56 PM ET
I'm not sure they have good talent. They are 6-11 ? in conference play.
HokiePail 02/22/23 05:05 PM ET
Are you saying Kidd would be "taken"
tylerhokie 02/22/23 08:24 PM ET
Yes Mutts & his triple double in ACC play...
GCHokie34 02/22/23 05:45 PM ET
But he has too many turnovers!**
King of Hokies 02/23/23 11:15 AM ET
Lol. Mutts isn't an ACC starter? Lol, again.**
King of Hokies 02/22/23 05:34 PM ET
There are plenty of ACC teams that would be happy to have Mutts
Pylons 02/22/23 05:16 PM ET
That's great, but I don't think CMY has adjusted to others' adjustments
marcbvtgm 02/22/23 04:25 PM ET
Yes, and I would add to that...
Gobbler Guru 02/22/23 05:05 PM ET
Or have Basile come back.
Pylons 02/22/23 05:25 PM ET
IMHO Basile is just not that kind of player.
Gobbler Guru 02/22/23 06:56 PM ET
He may not be exactly what you want , but he's a solid inside presence
Pylons 02/22/23 07:25 PM ET
so if the coach is coaching one thing, and the players do another...

My opinion about MY will be after next year.I will give him a chance
STEAMBOAT 02/22/23 01:52 PM ET
CMY has a pretty damn long leash. As he should. **
tylerhokie 02/22/23 08:26 PM ET
How generous; I agree with Pylons.**
PhotoHokieNC 02/22/23 04:15 PM ET
I'm sure he greatly appreciates your generosity.**
Pylons 02/22/23 03:48 PM ET
He's not coaching them to do that, but he's also not getting the best out
IronBlood 02/22/23 01:01 PM ET
A ceiling on what we can accomplish? Defending ACC champs in year 3
HokieAl 02/22/23 01:32 PM ET
Yet we also lost twice to BC and lost our only game with GT**
Durham Hokie 02/22/23 02:56 PM ET
People lose all the time with bad matchups
HokieAl 02/22/23 03:55 PM ET
There's a bit of truth in what you said above...
GCHokie34 02/22/23 01:21 PM ET
I'm glad to have him as coach, but ...

While the things you mention are indeed frustrating,
Pylons 02/22/23 04:28 PM ET
That "but" negated the first part of your post.**
Walkin` Willie 02/22/23 04:26 PM ET
Josh Pastner at GT won acc title also. Other VT coaches have won NCAA game
Durham Hokie 02/22/23 02:28 PM ET
Glad you brought up Pastner...
GCHokie34 02/22/23 02:42 PM ET
Yes, Pastner is not a good coach yet he completely outcoached CMY last wk.
marcbvtgm 02/22/23 04:28 PM ET
He outcoached him by...having his full roster
GCHokie34 02/22/23 05:43 PM ET
MY went 16-15 in his first regular season here, after a 14-5 start
No_Limit_Hokie 02/22/23 04:07 PM ET
Yes with a team that had 5 freshmen in top 7 minutes played...
GCHokie34 02/22/23 05:56 PM ET
Absolutely! That team was held together with spit and glue. Unfortunately
No_Limit_Hokie 02/23/23 09:47 AM ET
I brought up Pastner to indicate that just winning the acct one time does
Durham Hokie 02/22/23 02:53 PM ET
And I proved Pastner is irrelevant as his record before & after was losing**

You helped show by Pastner, who isn’t a great coach, that winning the
