Career ~.550 winning percentage, but some of you think he's John Wooden.

I want to see him do well, but he didn't even come close to dominating the mid-major conference he was in his whole career - and that was pre-NIL.

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.

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

To the extent the same team this year suffered inconsistency, sure, you can

You think the dude who coached 3 Wofford recruits & a Delaware/H Point

Nobody is saying that

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
hokiepro • 03/12/25 12:46 PM ET
Great accomplishment, but was outdone 2yrs later by a guy who is now fired**
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.**
