I will always ride with Mike Young, and everyone should, but….

It’s time that Mike seriously addresses his system’s weakness. During the offseason, tech went out and got the athleticism required to play at a faster tempo, but we are yet to see this happen in game. In fact, according to kem Pom tech is playing at a slower tempo than last year… Mike has got to speed up the offense and take advantage of teams when they press. I largely attribute the slow tempo to the lack of experience at pg, but physical teams and teams that play cardio crazy have always dismantled the tech offense throughout Mike’s tenure here. Mike’s staff has faced an overwhelming amount of terrible luck and adversity the last few years, so we have really never seen his true potential. I fear his retirement is imminent, but would encourage tech to give him one season with “a blank check” and just see how it goes, I think the true culprit of Tech’s struggles would be revealed…….

The most glaring weakness is not improving the PG position. Apparently

Folks. This team was picked 15th in the ACC BEFORE Miller left. Last year

I'm giving Coach Young a Mulligan on this season. **

VT played 69.3 possessions per game last season...

Does an offensive rebound factor in as a new possession or a continuation?**

It is factored into the total number of possessions...

Continuation**

It is not fair to CMY that the sports world turned upside down soon after

Plus he had an experienced PG this season until the Miller thing broke.**

Not many coaches lose a starting guard in October. Much less twice.....
