Buzz Williams lifetime record .618, Greenberg .567, James Johnson .349

Ricky Stokes .343, Bobby Hussey .418, Bill Foster .622, Frankie Allen .380, Charlie Moir .667. Didn’t feel like going back further than that, but compared to VT head coaches over the past 50 years Young is roughly middle of the pack in terms of lifetime winning percentage. Overall, he’s a good but not great coach. If that’s what we’re able to afford, by all means stay the course. We should therefore expect slightly better than average results and be pleasantly surprised whenever we’re able to beat good basketball programs like UVa, WF, and Stanford. If we aspire to be great in basketball, we should make a change. Until then, IIWII.

Factor how many of those 117 wins are early season gimmees.

Young is a competent coach. Not a mastermind that some hype him up to be.

I hear what you're saying but you know how this works. The argument that
MidloHokie 01/07/26 10:42 PM ET
Why? He's underperformed 3 of the last 4 years, especially in conference.
GoldCoast 01/07/26 10:37 PM ET
He has not underperformed this season...

How coaches did away from VT is irrelevant...

Moir’s teams would have went to 8-9 NCAA tournaments in the era of 64 teams

I have been behind CMY the whole time but if he does not make the tourney
