Now that I have everybody's attention, did anyone hear the pre-game commentary by the broadcast crew: "Mike Young is a Master Tactician." Also, they noted, our record is deceiving: We’ve sustained 3 ACC losses by a total of 5 pts. In 10 secs. of play. Note: Toby Lawall has only played 308’, 11 games, we’re 3-2 in ACC games since his return, the 2 losses being the Stanford and SMU losses, the latter being improbable. Whereas he’s averaged 28’/game, those include the games he played prior to his injury that sidelined him for 9 games. As it is, he’s averaging 9.3 boards.and 12.7 pts/game. Those wouldn’t have made a difference in half of four losses? Barring another injury, working Lawal who is our best rebounder and third-leading scorer back into the rotation is a difference-maker. I'm not a basketball guy but none of Young's critics in Hokie Nation are paid to coach or opine on basketball. CMY wouldn't have been able to sustain a career as long as he has if he didn't know what he's doing. Please, enough. We're 2 games better and 14 losses fewer after 20 games this season than we were last season in 32 and w/11 games to play before the conference tournament. Who believes we can’t win 5/6 of the remaining games which include 5 games (incl. H vs. WF) vs. teams which have collectively won 10 games? If we can’t, then I’d agree, show Mike Young the door but we’d be back to Square One after defections. Young will be 64 in May, he’s on the back end of his career. Let the guy retire on his terms. He’s a class act in a cutthroat profession and a a great representative of our institution. I was sorry but not surprised at his departure for A&M but surprised he bailed out. However, he’s buried (1-7) near the bottom of the B1G.
