I think Willie......

might have had his tongue planted firmly in cheek with the Final Four comment absent the A&M dalliance or it could just be the sting remaining from Buzz doing exactly what he told everybody he would almost from Day One. Love him or hate him, and yes there are things I did not like about him, he is a very good coach. More importantly, he did what he was hired originally to do in reviving a program dead in the water and for that he has my gratitude.

I mean he did go back. Did he say forever?

Coach K said our Sweet 16 team under Buzz had Final Four potential.

That inbounds play was a thing of beauty.

Man that play haunts me.

Not to mention Clarkes suspension that year, they did well without him
HokieRat • 04/02/25 10:17 AM ET
We were a clear 2/3 with a full strength team

I get the possibility if a committee penalized a team for injuries

If he follows the pattern from VT and Texas A&M he will build up one team
AbsolutVT03 • 04/03/25 03:07 PM ET
Odds are extremely low that he'll be there long term...lol**
EDGEMAN • 04/03/25 04:10 PM ET
Yes, but unless he becomes less wing-focused, he'll hit his ceiling again.**
