I'm not sure what your point is here... other than to argue.

I digress. Again, I can't speak to the Wofford time. But even this year, we saw very little of both Young and Rech. Ideally, when you know we aren't a very good team, you roll the dice with some of these young guys (no pun intended there). CMY doesn't like to do that. I would be interested in knowing (obviously you have more knowledge of the Wofford situation that me) how many of those CMY teams were littered with veteran players. CMY seems to be very stubborn about playing young guys. To a fault I might add. Again, we can point to specific instances during his tenure here, but the reality is, he has guys on the bench... just sitting there. Where was John Camden all year? Where was Young (seems like every time he got on the court he it a shot. And his defense certainly was not much worse than MJ Collins or Tyler Nickel). Where was Rech, especially during those games where Pedulla was throwing the ball away with reckless abandon? I could go on and on here. Again, I think the rotation issues were compounded with the departure of Rice, but this industry does now allow you to be stubborn.

Even if we had a bench, I'm not convinced
BuffaloTraceHokie 03/13/24 02:34 PM ET
Young should have played a lot more imo....
HokiePail 03/13/24 02:50 PM ET
I think most coaches are around a 7/8 man rotation. We just do not have..

Jaydon Young?**
OakHillHokie 03/13/24 02:40 PM ET
Young should have played a lot more this year...
HokiePail 03/13/24 02:52 PM ET
That's simply not true...
GCHokie34 03/13/24 02:38 PM ET
I can only speak to what I've seen regarding his tenure at VT.
BuffaloTraceHokie 03/13/24 02:44 PM ET
You’ve seen that this season due to necessity, not choice.
JSCVPI20 03/13/24 02:54 PM ET
And again, I think CMY is stubborn about a few things...
BuffaloTraceHokie 03/13/24 03:00 PM ET
His last losing season was 8 years ago...
GCHokie34 03/13/24 03:15 PM ET
Would also like a couple of few big dance wins**
lazarus1 03/13/24 04:54 PM ET
I'm not sure we disagree on this point...
BuffaloTraceHokie 03/13/24 03:24 PM ET
Be specific...
GCHokie34 03/13/24 03:27 PM ET
Your last sentence would be an amazing solution!!
BuffaloTraceHokie 03/13/24 03:51 PM ET
Why not use more than 13 scholarships?
GCHokie34 03/13/24 03:56 PM ET
I think we agree to a certain extent...
BuffaloTraceHokie 03/13/24 04:22 PM ET

if your argument is play Camden and 2 frosh more you're not gonna win many

Stubborn has nothing to do with it.

Your OP

They won 18 games with a depleted roster playing a Top 30 schedule...
GCHokie34 03/13/24 03:24 PM ET
So many things to respond to here, and we could
BuffaloTraceHokie 03/13/24 03:47 PM ET
As a coach, there is a huge difference between mistakes...
GCHokie34 03/13/24 03:53 PM ET
I agree here...
BuffaloTraceHokie 03/13/24 04:24 PM ET
No player is going to be mistake free...
GCHokie34 03/13/24 04:31 PM ET
How is 18 wins not very good against a very tough schedule?
