My take on CMY is that he's a solid mid-major coach, but will never be able

to recruit enough 4 stars to consistently be better than .500 in the ACC regular season. We're on year 4 and the program is regressing much like Fuente's teams did. Bottom line is that we don't have enough dudes as they say. A solid experienced coach like CMY can win consistently at the mid-major level, but it takes more than a great system to consistently win basketball games in the ACC. And before the ACC Champs banners come out, winning consistently in the regular season is what matters for a program, not catching fire for 3 games to win a tournament (think Josh Pastner of GT). When our AD gets tired of being consistently .500 or worse in the regular season and moves on from CMY, I hope we go for a younger coach who is a proven recruiter at the major bball level. Notice I said proven recruiter not proven head coach. Talent wins games more consistently than coaching in the ACC. The Hokie women's program is a perfect example of how important recruiting is. CKB couldn't coach his way out of a paper bag in game, but he can certainly recruit and has elevated that program to the top part of the ACC and consistently ranked in the Top 25. That team wins in spite of his ineptness in game. It's a proven model. Follow it for the men's program too. ** Edited by VT_EX_HOKIE_2002 at 1/21/2023, 9:57:42 PM

Nah, I enjoy being one of the first to realize how something is going to go
VT_EX_HOKIE_2002 01/21/23 10:53 PM ET
But he can win the first and only ACC title in school history

Winning a tournament doesn't make one an exceptional coach ala Josh Pastner**

I disagree. This team is very close. They need to clean some stuff up

I said 4 stars not 5. Those premadonnas are a different animal altogether. **

Ok I'll go slow. MY needs more 4 stars but he can't coach at the ACC level
40ozDistrict 01/21/23 10:21 PM ET
Obviously you need some sort of system, but without talent, the system
