Sure, I slipped him some truth serum and here's what he told me

The basketball program really doesnt have leadership right now- sorry. I have zero clout and probably will just cash a few more pay checks and then be out of here. Any new prospective coach knows the program is rudderless until a new AD is in place and will not really have adequate resources to begin competing with ACC level programs so good luck attracting anyone with a pulse . Again I'm sorry. The school went way above my paygrade (finally) to seriously commit to try and save the football program I helped almost destroy. My bad again. So there is no ability to go back to the well for basketball right now. Maybe my new replacement will have the gonads to try , but I'm a Eunuch (it's not that bad really). As to Coach Young , yeah yeah we extended him to 2075. Ha ha. Of course the school can buy it out at any time with just a 2 week Cruise to the Caribbean for Mr and Mrs Young. So yeah we are 110% committed to him until we aren't. But he gets this and just wants to put away a few more dollars to max out Social Security benefits in a couple of years. I call that a win win. So let's all play our respective roles- coaches ADs players fans and enjoy the 26-27 season. And dont forget to give.

VT MBB coach?
Midwestguy • 03/23/26 01:55 PM ET
If you change the coach, but don't increase the funding, nothing changes.
wwhokie1 • 03/25/26 10:32 AM ET
Yes, I agree**
Midwestguy • 03/25/26 10:34 AM ET
FORMAL announcement vs a statement from the AD. What's the difference?**
marcbvtgm • 03/24/26 09:05 AM ET
I understand
Midwestguy • 03/24/26 10:55 AM ET
That's sounds definitive to me.**
marcbvtgm • 03/25/26 05:18 PM ET
One is non binding. The other is the opposite of binding.**
HokieNL • 03/24/26 09:14 AM ET
I see what you did there...**
marcbvtgm • 03/25/26 05:18 PM ET
Let's get a new AD first**
RiverVT • 03/24/26 08:28 AM ET
WB has publicly stated that CMY will be back this fall. **
ancient alien 2018 • 03/23/26 05:44 PM ET
…and prove all the haters wrong**
chumley • 03/23/26 06:23 PM ET
Well Chum, haters always gonna hate!!!**
ancient alien 2018 • 03/23/26 06:47 PM ET
Can you really believe anything he says? **
RJHokie • 03/23/26 05:45 PM ET
He doesn't like having his credibility or competence questioned.
KCHokie2 • 03/23/26 10:58 PM ET
His what? (I keed! I keed!)**
HokieNL • 03/23/26 11:18 PM ET
Sure, I slipped him some truth serum and here's what he told me ◄
Vippie1 • 03/23/26 06:07 PM ET
I bought Robert Irsay a couple bourbons on a flight to Baltimore.
KCHokie2 • 03/23/26 09:20 PM ET
Should have been laced with rat poison.**
Atlee Hokie • 03/24/26 05:43 PM ET
"2 week Cruise" 🤣**
HokieNL • 03/23/26 06:20 PM ET
When he told Berman and Berman printed it in one of his
ancient alien 2018 • 03/23/26 05:48 PM ET
Ha!
RJHokie • 03/23/26 05:55 PM ET
Here's a thought... Imagine if Young and Berman had to share a pod 😂**
HokieNL • 03/23/26 09:02 PM ET
Is this the UNC board?
turkeywinghokie • 03/23/26 04:29 PM ET
Only if it's bad news for UNC**
ancient alien 2018 • 03/23/26 05:50 PM ET
LOL. It could be. **
Midwestguy • 03/23/26 04:50 PM ET
I concur. I look every day if there is an announcement lol.**
VT Rocker • 03/23/26 04:00 PM ET
LOL. That’s a great comment regarding WB. **
Midwestguy • 03/23/26 04:49 PM ET
Babcock announced a couple weeks ago that Coach would be back**
JoesterVT • 03/23/26 02:01 PM ET
Not Formally
Midwestguy • 03/23/26 02:26 PM ET
That other coach sidestepped a similar question from Berman
TomTurkey • 03/24/26 09:24 AM ET
Interesting **
Midwestguy • 03/24/26 10:16 AM ET
High school recruiting no longer drives the train unless ur DUKE
tallahasseehokie • 03/23/26 09:06 PM ET
Why? Wait until next season plays out. Then see if the bottom money program
ancient alien 2018 • 03/23/26 05:47 PM ET
It would only be a bad idea to have a lame duck coach...
GCHokie34 • 03/23/26 03:53 PM ET
We all need to know
Midwestguy • 03/23/26 04:48 PM ET
I cant imagine a scenario where people on this board "need" to know...**
GCHokie34 • 03/23/26 07:02 PM ET
LOL**
Midwestguy • 03/23/26 07:48 PM ET
He’ll just go into the year with reduced resources
AnotherTechW • 03/23/26 04:03 PM ET
Seems pretty formal to me...lol**
JoesterVT • 03/23/26 02:28 PM ET
LOL is right! **
Midwestguy • 03/23/26 02:40 PM ET
FWIW, here's the headline from the Roanoke Times
JoesterVT • 03/23/26 02:06 PM ET
Whit (Krusty) had a Zoom Press Conference regarding the matter...**
HokieNL • 03/23/26 06:35 PM ET
Correct. Young will be back.**
David CunninghamAdmin • 03/23/26 02:25 PM ET
For Sure?
Midwestguy • 03/23/26 05:17 PM ET
It's March 23...
Chris ColemanAdmin • 03/23/26 08:09 PM ET
How about the mens basketball GM position? It was never filled?- correct?**
softball1 • 03/24/26 05:34 PM ET
That’s correct.
RJHokie • 03/24/26 05:39 PM ET
Didn't Weaver fire Seth in April...yeah, pretty insane. Cost us a class.
hok1eboy • 03/23/26 10:13 PM ET
Cost us a class and two totally lost seasons**
King of Hokies • 03/26/26 06:40 AM ET
Yep, sure did.
RJHokie • 03/23/26 10:46 PM ET
Do I remember correctly that Greenberg found out he had been fired...
MP4VT2004 • 03/24/26 02:35 PM ET
I believe he was at Bull & Bones.**
Chris ColemanAdmin • 03/24/26 07:40 PM ET
Yeah, there some truth in that. **
RJHokie • 03/24/26 03:26 PM ET
So, mainly, this was not a "cultural fit" issue, on VT's end?
HokieNL • 03/23/26 11:02 PM ET
Seth was putting together what was probably the best class o.f his tenure.**
hok1eboy • 03/23/26 11:00 PM ET
Yeah, that’s true too. **
RJHokie • 03/24/26 03:28 PM ET
That was the previous year's class...
Chris ColemanAdmin • 03/24/26 07:53 AM ET
think he means Montrezl Harrell and Gus Gilchrist class? **
AnotherTechW • 03/24/26 11:57 AM ET
Gus was well before that.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 03/24/26 01:22 PM ET
By NIL, Chris means "National Letter of Intent." Not what it means today.**
Will StewartAdmin • 03/25/26 09:29 AM ET
Yeah. Edited the post.**
Chris ColemanAdmin • 03/25/26 10:16 AM ET
Thought that was NLI?**
saret • 03/25/26 09:39 AM ET
Always seen it as LOI - thought that was what he meant 😬**
TomTurkey • 03/25/26 09:36 AM ET
We could hire Giltner in an hour.
st_andrew • 03/23/26 09:17 PM ET
Ty, Chris**
Midwestguy • 03/23/26 08:31 PM ET
Oh to be Young again **
