Yes and besides, who would we get who is better?

We are NOT a destination school for basketball. The ACCT championship is something I never thought I would see in my lifetime and it is proof positive that when CMY has enough talent, he can win. Heck, that team wasn't the most talented in the ACC but they won the tournament and that can be attributed to coaching and the character of the players - the players CMY assembled. But fans like you who think we can just fire someone and immediately replace them with something better are mind boggling. Not sure what reality you live in but until - and if - the NIL $$$ start flowing into the MBB program, we will not be winners regardless of who is the coach. That is the reality in which I live. ** Edited by Walkin` Willie at 1/11/2025, 10:46:07 AM

Coach Young is not the problem.

Lack of NIL $$$ is the problem
Walkin` Willie • 01/09/25 11:01 AM ET
My point is. What did he do for NIL? He has bigger responsibilities
GBOHokie • 01/09/25 02:23 PM ET
So you are blaming CMY when you admit you don't know what
Walkin` Willie • 01/10/25 08:03 AM ET
Young's salary is ranked 56th among D1 coaches, and 11th in the ACC.**

Not much else has to be said. **

Would love to know what his available NIL funds are and how they ranks in

Ah! The ever transparent NIL.**

His salary out-paces the team’s performance. **

Remind me how many other coaches at Tech have won an ACC championship?**

I fail to see the relevance.

Am I wrong? Is this team ranked 56th or higher? **
Pride_and_Joy • 01/09/25 12:45 AM ET
Simplistic in my mind. We bring in top 40 revenue as a MBB program...
GoldCoast • 01/09/25 07:13 AM ET
What "elite" fan base?
VTCALS72 • 01/09/25 07:59 AM ET
Must be talking about football attendance, not MBB.**
