would be benefitted by a little more perspective on program performances. Aside from the blue bloods, it would be interesting to look at overall records, conference records, home versus away records, etc. to get a feeling for averages and where programs fit in those rankings. Couple that with VT's historical trends as a basketball program and I am guessing we find expectations outstrip actual realities in most people's minds. Throw in the actual resources devoted to the program and then you get a measure of the the true efficiency of the program. It is natural to have expectations and want more but, those expectations must be tempered with perspective and realistic assessments about what can be achieved with present resources and what increased level of commitment is needed to achieve higher desired levels coupled with a plan. My sense is for a very long time VT went without that thinking but, I think in more recent times that approach has become more commonplace. ** Edited by 2hhoop3 at 3/6/2024, 10:14:44 AM
