There are thousands of HCs who haven't won NCAAT games...

Who also aren't giving up their own money to pay players...coach K is just someone everyone knows Basketball is the life work of 99.9% of people in the business. You've not made a single argument that is inherent to MY that would make him be the one to need to give up his own money.

ATP if I’m Mike Young, I’m spending some of my 3 million salary
SC_Hokie • 04/24/26 01:27 PM ET
I'm almost positive I read an article about a coach who did this
amazng_grace • 04/25/26 06:46 AM ET
Can he get a tax deduction on the amount spent?
UpperQuad • 04/25/26 01:36 PM ET
If I think this will be my last season, I'm keeping all of my salary.
wwhokie1 • 04/24/26 10:50 PM ET
How much money you think he makes?
turkeywinghokie • 04/24/26 08:44 PM ET
Mens basketball will be the only major sport for a while...
GCHokie34 • 04/24/26 07:09 PM ET
Yes. Given our budget, NO ONE we get will do a better job than Mike Young.
TDVick • 04/26/26 09:08 AM ET
Pretty sure whatever he spends to prop up program will not affect his

GCHokie34 • 04/24/26 08:53 PM ET
That is about to change. Other than 3 (or was it 4) games in the ACC
Blueboy • 04/24/26 08:54 PM ET
I'd argue that hoops has been better than football the past decade.

GC I was on your side of this argument last year.
VT ChemE 1986 • 04/25/26 10:52 AM ET
I genuinely hope so...
GCHokie34 • 04/25/26 12:38 PM ET
That's not the best case scenario at all
GretnaHokie • 04/25/26 05:17 PM ET
Right right riiight...its precisely what we've seen...
GCHokie34 • 04/25/26 05:23 PM ET
Worked alright for Clemson, but keep banging that drum my man
GretnaHokie • 04/25/26 05:35 PM ET
Clemson basketball was not elevated by football...

I have stated many times on the board that VT can’t walk and chew gum
VT ChemE 1986 • 04/25/26 12:56 PM ET
I understand your (and many others) football-centric mindset.
saret • 04/25/26 01:22 PM ET
Yep. Whit's bad hires and contract structures pi$$ed away about $10 million

Good post, GC. You showed good self-restraint when
saret • 04/24/26 10:05 PM ET

HokieNL • 04/25/26 05:37 PM ET

If he truly viewed it this way, he would retire.
SC_Hokie • 04/24/26 08:03 PM ET
Using that logic...
GCHokie34 • 04/24/26 08:37 PM ET
Wow this did not meet my expectations! GCHOKIE34 using a strawman??????
SC_Hokie • 04/26/26 03:08 PM ET
"I wont get into why" but Ill write 4 paragraphs about nothing**
GCHokie34 • 04/26/26 04:09 PM ET
It would appear that you still believe your strawman is a valid?
