Often it is hard to tell if is a) the person b) the resources or c) the

organization and management structure. If you are in an athletic department that is run worth a piece of crap, then if there are some landscape changes and perhaps people aren't the best fit, then you'd expect upper management (Whit) to see it coming or make the slightest contribution to fix things. My take is that Mike Young is a great coach whose one possible shortcoming is recruiting or being a slick salesman. Whenever there is a change or where a slight bit of help from a competent organization would really help, they certainly can't count on it from Whit. He is just a useless piece of garbage, that just can't be counted on to figure anything out or be the least bit helpful. Whit been caught behind the curve and dancing around like a yo-yo for at least six years now. Maybe some of this is on Mike Young, but it is COMPLETE BULL**** to see GMU and VCU playing for their tournament title with VT castoffs. The one bright spot in the past six years has been Mike Young miraculously cobbling together a team of Wofford 2 star transfers and winning an ACC tourney. He is miles ahead or Whit, Pry or Sands in this whole screwed up system and has a lot of goodwill with me. None of these other three clowns do.
