My point is not to run down Moir. He was a very good coach. But he's

idolized for some of the wrong reasons, and had his own issues. Lots of posters on here will run down Seth Greenberg or Buzz Williams, but think the WORLD of Charley Moir. But Moir had recruiting violations, was merely a fair game-day coach and his teams imploded at the end of the year as badly or worse than Greenberg's. But when it comes to basketball success, Buzz had it over Moir. And honestly, if Seth had just changed one game on his damn schedule in 2007, 2009 and 2010 he would have equaled Moir's NCAAT appearances. I'm pretty sure that their players thought well of them, too. But Charley was "one of us" so he gets the benefit of the doubt. ** Edited by King of Hokies at 3/6/2026, 12:43:17 PM

Moir was good but after 1981, VT was still a team that would lose games

I know my fellow oldsters dont like me saying but Moir is being overrated

We'll have to agree to disagree on that.

There isn't much remaining online that discuss Greenberg's departure for VT
