Oh, that good ole boy system is all about doing more with less.

So it's reasonable to think that they pushed for his hire, then threw him in the pool and cheered, "Now swim!!"

I am assuming that it will be another big rebuild for men's hoops next year
CobbCountyHokie • 03/30/26 01:33 PM ET
every year is a rebuild year in college basketball
ShockWaveVT • 03/31/26 12:15 AM ET
Indeed. We live in the age of "pay for play."
EDGEMAN • 03/31/26 09:13 AM ET
It seems, based on the economic commitment, we will be repeatedly . . .
MidloHokie • 03/30/26 05:41 PM ET
I dunno, I see us building a bigger home next year.**

The new phone books are out............**
santafe • 03/31/26 08:20 AM ET
well yeah, always going to be a complete rebuild these days
Vippie1 • 03/30/26 04:54 PM ET
It's a reality, not an assumption, for almost every program.**
marcbvtgm • 03/30/26 04:16 PM ET
Every year will be a rebuild. Welcome to NIL world. **
ModerateHokie • 03/30/26 02:02 PM ET
Theyre not going to have the money to be a contender next yr unfortunately**
GCHokie34 • 03/30/26 01:37 PM ET
Which probably make sense for two reasons. (1) if this is MY's swan song,
goodbadugly • 03/31/26 09:12 AM ET
If youre saving money for a new coach...just...hire them
GCHokie34 • 03/31/26 09:29 AM ET
But yet that's exactly what we've done. Plenty of examples where we've
goodbadugly • 03/31/26 03:51 PM ET
VT went all in on the roster for Brent Pry in his final 2 years...
GCHokie34 • 03/31/26 03:52 PM ET
Might as well keep the one we have as no coach worth their salt
Walkin` Willie • 03/31/26 11:55 AM ET
So we are basically the Baltimore Orioles or the Orlando Magic
OrlandoHokie • 03/30/26 08:17 PM ET
Pittsburgh Pirates**
UpperQuad • 03/30/26 11:37 PM ET
Or Tampa Bay (which almost always punches above its weight)**
marcbvtgm • 03/31/26 10:21 AM ET
Not so much with the new Orioles ownership. **
marcbvtgm • 03/30/26 08:35 PM ET
Orioles fan here. I feel my pain!**
HokieNL • 03/30/26 08:32 PM ET
Maybe, but we'll never be Royals.**
KCHokie2 • 03/30/26 08:24 PM ET
Don't ask me to call you Queen Bee. 😂**
HokieNL • 03/31/26 01:45 AM ET
When you look at Dook, we didn't have the money to compete this year.**
EDGEMAN • 03/30/26 05:09 PM ET
If Duke is the barometer for competing VT will never compete **
GCHokie34 • 03/30/26 07:09 PM ET
Exactly**
EDGEMAN • 03/30/26 07:09 PM ET
Simpatico Kemosahbee
Vippie1 • 03/30/26 04:59 PM ET
At this point I sincerely hope MY retires right before the season begins
GCHokie34 • 03/30/26 05:07 PM ET
Oh, that good ole boy system is all about doing more with less. ◄
HaveItAllHokie • 03/30/26 11:33 PM ET
No...thats not a reasoned thought**
GCHokie34 • 03/31/26 08:40 AM ET
This is disgusting to even suggest **
SC_Hokie • 03/30/26 06:08 PM ET
Which part of it?**
I love VT! • 03/30/26 07:13 PM ET
worked for UVa :-)**
Vippie1 • 03/30/26 05:16 PM ET
Assumption **
Midwestguy • 03/30/26 03:12 PM ET
I mean...cool?
GCHokie34 • 03/30/26 04:54 PM ET
You made up Ryan Odom wasn't a serious contender for VT bball head whistle
HokieRat • 03/30/26 09:32 PM ET
Sure didnt..
GCHokie34 • 03/30/26 10:11 PM ET
Is this post related to inside info or educated guess?
AnotherTechW • 03/30/26 09:14 PM ET
Money
Midwestguy • 03/30/26 06:24 PM ET
The basketball program did not lose money...**
GCHokie34 • 03/30/26 06:25 PM ET
In FY25, they absolutely did**
I love VT! • 03/30/26 11:46 PM ET
I thought I saw it reported
Midwestguy • 03/30/26 06:45 PM ET
Indeed We'll see later on.**
ancient alien 2018 • 03/30/26 04:15 PM ET
Contender
Battlesuggs • 03/30/26 02:26 PM ET
Contender indeed to make "the dance" (the ACC tournament dance that is) **
Vippie1 • 03/30/26 05:02 PM ET
By not increasing the basketball budget **
GCHokie34 • 03/30/26 02:31 PM ET
It sounds like the budget will be the same then and not decreasing?
MVIII • 03/30/26 02:42 PM ET
I have heard AT BEST they will have similar to this year...
GCHokie34 • 03/30/26 04:55 PM ET
Falling behind, by standing still.**
HokieNL • 03/30/26 04:32 PM ET
NC State just committed to large increase. I think I saw $14 million.**
HokieDelNorte • 03/30/26 03:20 PM ET
Savings
Midwestguy • 03/30/26 04:42 PM ET
Not a contender or not competitive? To me is a big difference.
NC Hoke • 03/30/26 02:16 PM ET
Unless they make all of the exact right moves with the roster...
GCHokie34 • 03/30/26 02:21 PM ET
Finally…a GC post I agree with**
NativeBurger • 03/30/26 10:59 PM ET
In a related story, icicles have just been spotted in Hades**
HokieNL • 03/31/26 12:14 AM ET
Kind of like this year then.
NC Hoke • 03/30/26 02:40 PM ET
Same funds as this year would be a huge win **
GCHokie34 • 03/30/26 04:57 PM ET
That's too bad-The art of the not possible, even w/$47M added to the budget
GoldCoast • 03/30/26 03:32 PM ET
you shouldn't conflate the athletics budget with roster budget
ShockWaveVT • 03/31/26 12:22 AM ET
Well, it's looking like 2026-27 will be another tournament-less year
ancient alien 2018 • 03/31/26 10:01 PM ET
I mean, they should correlate fairly well and it’s a good…
GoldCoast • 03/31/26 06:38 PM ET
Or...they never had that much to begin with**
GCHokie34 • 03/30/26 04:53 PM ET
He told us after the 24-25 season he never wanted to go through that again.
NC Hoke • 03/30/26 04:39 PM ET
Yup, sadly. **
