For me , bottom line is we didn’t have the talent on this team to compete **

I blame NIL for ruining college sports**

I blame UNREGULATED NIL for ruining college sports.
Walkin` Willie • 03/12/25 02:14 PM ET
I would argue gambling has been more corrosive
WildTurkE • 03/12/25 11:26 AM ET
Start with guards with linebacker mentality
1980VT • 03/12/25 10:37 AM ET
I'd rather have guards with QB's mentality - manage the game.**

It wasn't a lack of athletic talent as much as a lack of basketball talent
marcbvtgm • 03/12/25 10:03 AM ET
Mike said same thing. Quote at end of David’s article was brutal
3TechFanz • 03/12/25 08:38 AM ET
Frankly that’s an insane quote from a HC

Apparently Whit was in the room, so throwing some shade at him most likely
GretnaHokie • 03/12/25 09:27 AM ET
Bully for him. I'm sure much was already said before his return announced.**
TomTurkey • 03/12/25 12:42 PM ET
Thank goodness this season is over! Until CMY gets competitive NIL
Spider73 • 03/12/25 08:20 AM ET
Completely agree. I don't hold MY responsible for this year. We have a
nkhooch • 03/12/25 02:15 AM ET
I don't give him a pass either. Dumb play is on a coach too on some level.
marcbvtgm • 03/12/25 10:09 AM ET
It’s amazing how expectations have now dropped
Pride_and_Joy • 03/12/25 08:38 AM ET
For all the love Young gets for winning the ACC tourney once...
Gobbler Guru • 03/12/25 01:03 PM ET
Wow. Didn’t realize his success in the ACCT
Pride_and_Joy • 03/12/25 08:34 PM ET
Sorry he’s the coach he’s responsible.
MidloHokie • 03/12/25 03:37 AM ET
We’ll never get a better coach for what we’re paying Young. Plus, he loves
VT One • 03/12/25 11:17 AM ET
This new NIL game may have passed him by. Not playing guys b/c they can't
RhinoVT • 03/12/25 08:46 AM ET
It did. More likely it snuck up on him. VT wasn’t ready with money when
NC Hoke • 03/12/25 01:34 PM ET
To the extent the same team this year suffered inconsistency, sure, you can
BG Hokie • 03/12/25 08:20 AM ET
You think the dude who coached 3 Wofford recruits & a Delaware/H Point
hokiepro • 03/12/25 07:21 AM ET
Career ~.550 winning percentage, but some of you think he's John Wooden.
JLuge76 • 03/12/25 12:20 PM ET
Nobody is saying that
HokiesACC2004 • 03/13/25 05:31 AM ET
You can go ahead and delete your account.
SC_Hokie • 03/12/25 08:28 PM ET
Don’t think he’s John Wooden.
hokiepro • 03/12/25 12:45 PM ET
How is that VCU seems to get a good coach each time they lose one?
hokie77th • 03/12/25 03:12 PM ET
Commitment to the sport
hokiepro • 03/12/25 03:30 PM ET
Great 5-game run.
Pride_and_Joy • 03/12/25 08:42 AM ET
Subject line is misleading the rest is true

GoldCoast • 03/12/25 08:21 AM ET
NCSU has national title banners, we have NIT banners**
BROman Hokie • 03/12/25 08:43 AM ET
None of which have occurred in the last 40 years...**
JLuge76 • 03/12/25 12:13 PM ET
VT won NIT in 95 or 96. That's not 40 years ago**
Jethro Tull • 03/12/25 04:25 PM ET
MY not the problem..$$$$ & AD is the root problem here..
JRHokie • 03/12/25 07:29 AM ET
So we get more NIL money and finish 9th in ACC
WildTurkE • 03/12/25 07:39 AM ET
Is this you Whit ??? ...How Much
JRHokie • 03/12/25 04:40 PM ET
Go calculate CMYs average regular season
WildTurkE • 03/12/25 05:16 PM ET
What else could he do?
HokiesACC2004 • 03/12/25 06:51 AM ET
Agree**
FloydsBarberShop • 03/12/25 06:47 AM ET
I can guarantee you he didn’t coach the passing or shooting we saw yesterda
hokiepro • 03/12/25 06:18 AM ET
100% THIS! Anyone who thinks CMY wouldn't have gotten better players if he
HeisenBurg13 • 03/12/25 07:12 AM ET
It's borderline amazing Young was able to win 13 games with this roster.
Zanderhokie • 03/12/25 11:48 AM ET
Good take Pro **
HokiesACC2004 • 03/12/25 06:52 AM ET
You be wrong, money talks, talent was not there to coach.**
