Per your last sentence... physician, heal thyself. As for your first... we did not "win the whole ACC" two years ago. We finished 7th, got a miracle shot in OT to avoid losing to a below average 10th seeded Clemson in the first round of the ACCT, and then had a wonderful 3 game hot streak at the perfect time to win the ACC tournament. Mike Young has shown, throughout his career, that his teams are capable of shooting lights out from outside and upsetting better teams. For a few games. What he has not shown is the ability to consistently win against good competition when his teams are not able to make those jumpers. No one is pretending that "human dynamics don't mattter". But managers everywhere have to grin and bear it when a prickly employee happens to be an extremely valuable employee. Managers nowhere are saying "well, my employee's results are getting steadily worse, but they're super nice so I'll just accept the loss in productivity". Don't kid yourself. Regardless of "fit"- if Greenberg had made more NCAA tourney appearances, Weaver would never have fired him. And if Buzz still wanted to be at VT, he'd still be at VT. Regardless of whether either of those guys was fun to have cocktails with at the Blacksburg Country Club, or chummy with athletic department staff.
