Did we ever hire the Men's Basketball GM? I have not seen any articles and
the Hokie Sports Men's Basketball Roster Page does not mention a GM among the staff.

Either left or got fired.
Didn’t last long - Maybe a few weeks? ** Edited by RJHokie at 6/29/2026, 2:31:40 PM

Did he go to the Hoos? Maybe that was a WBB person.

An assistant coach went to the Hoos, not the GM.

Waiting on that $1M donation to fund the spot for 5 to 7 years or so.

Unfortunately, I gave my million in cash to Demi Moore years ago.
Probably could've snagged Cousin Eddie with that - he's been holding out for a management position. ** Edited by KCHokie2 at 6/26/2026, 9:54:36 PM

If they have it hasn't been announced.

Thanks. Maybe they were leaving this opening for the new AD to decide.

Don't think so. Head coaches hire their GMs, not ADs.
It's a member of the basketball staff. ADs don't get involved in that. I'm guessing Young had such a bad experience with his last GM that he decided not to hire one this year.

Why would a GM even be needed at this point? Move that budget line item
Somewhere else

Can one GM do both MBB and WBB? Not a huge number of people involved
between the two.

Nah. Two different markets.

No. Team operations are very separate.

Yeah, I think we're in a holding pattern until things are resolved.

I lean this way because White already has a lot of the business side
covered. He can determine during the next few months or more, exactly what he would need in a gm. Or maybe he does not need a gm but some other piece of the puzzle. This is not an immediate concern.
