Coach Pete should be/deserves ACC Coach of the Year.

Looking at FSU who has the top ACC recruiting class every year and top transfers, it is expected for them to be at the top of ACC every year. They have been the "Oklahoma" of the ACC for years. But times are changing, it's not going to be easy for them any longer. Their SOS/RPI has been behind VT all year. VT has been #1 RPI/#1 SOS most of the year. VT recruiting doesn't match FSU, but Coach Pete has done "more with less." VT beat FSU 2 of 3 convincingly (credit #3 to FSU coach). VT surprised everyone in the country, including displacing powerhouse, media favorite FSU. Based on expectations, #1 VT overperformed, #2 Duke same, #3 FSU underperformed. VT ACC Regular Season Champions.

I agree 100%. Great coach great recruiter. **
SCHokie1103 • 05/03/22 02:45 PM ET
He beat therm 2 of 3 last yer too.
OKDokeyHokie • 05/03/22 02:25 PM ET
Pete deserves it based on what he has accomplished.**
delawarehokie • 05/03/22 01:20 PM ET
Absolutely DH. **
SCHokie1103 • 05/03/22 02:45 PM ET
I agree because
OKDokeyHokie • 05/03/22 02:39 PM ET
Pete may not win ACC COY, but could win national COY**
ronvpi • 05/03/22 10:28 AM ET
Indeed he could. **
SCHokie1103 • 05/03/22 02:46 PM ET
The perverse logic might be that he has won the ACC COY recently (2019)...

Great Point - this is from Softball America's preseason thoughts on the ACC
VTChip • 05/03/22 10:55 AM ET
For sure great motivation Chip. **
SCHokie1103 • 05/03/22 02:48 PM ET
He didn't name VT either in the top pitching staffs returning.
carhokies • 05/03/22 12:49 PM ET
Oh yeah. **
SCHokie1103 • 05/03/22 02:47 PM ET
It's been hanging in my indoor facility as well.**
dallasvt • 05/03/22 12:06 PM ET
That's such lazy research**
VT_AD • 05/03/22 11:26 AM ET
Yep…..not one word about VT.
RJHokie • 05/03/22 11:20 AM ET
I'll add this
VT_AD • 05/03/22 10:14 AM ET
Personally I don’t think finishing 6th is worthy of COY
Hockeydad • 05/03/22 12:23 PM ET

Here here TD. **
SCHokie1103 • 05/03/22 02:49 PM ET
👍👍👍**
RJHokie • 05/03/22 11:08 AM ET
I think Pete or UVA probably
VTsportscaster • 05/03/22 09:32 AM ET
The only thing uva deserves is to be smacked around.**
Blueboy • 05/03/22 01:53 PM ET

Kind of a fuzzy award in ways, I see "improvement" being the biggest
`lag • 05/03/22 09:58 AM ET
Respectable
Techdady • 05/03/22 10:03 AM ET
Do we consider the flashy digs?**
IB4TECH • 05/03/22 10:38 AM ET
That's my point, it's a fuzzy award "bad to respectable" might be...
`lag • 05/03/22 10:22 AM ET
Feel good
Techdady • 05/03/22 10:30 AM ET
At this point, I think it has to be D'Amour. Preseason, Tech was picked
dallasvt • 05/03/22 09:41 AM ET
Yeah, math curve there, those last few spots get increasingly harder
`lag • 05/03/22 10:54 AM ET
Plus Pete actively went after and secured a tough schedule where others
RJHokie • 05/03/22 09:37 AM ET
And mostly took care of business
OKDokeyHokie • 05/03/22 02:42 PM ET
Reminds me a little how F$U built their football brand
EDGEMAN • 05/03/22 12:16 PM ET
Yeah that was a brutal schedule - good point**
VT_AD • 05/03/22 09:56 AM ET
It darn well better not go to Dook, who played a cream puff schedule.**
