The irrationality of VT low expectations rears its head again.

Just because his ceiling is higher than VT standards doesn't mean, say, aTm fans or UMd fans think a Sweet 16 ceiling is acceptable - particularly at his salary. I don't dislike Buzz. I think he's a good coach. I just think his personnel philosophy is a rate limiting factor for him. Much like Mike Young's inability and/or unwillingness to accept that the sport has changed and you no longer have a couple of months, let alone years, to get a team to gel. ** Edited by marcbvtgm at 4/10/2026, 11:51:11 AM ** Edited by marcbvtgm at 4/10/2026, 11:51:48 AM
