C'mon! I am not a critic per se but

coaches can be criticized for moved despite being a coach of the year or successful. Fuente won coach of the year. Look at him now. People who question moves and decisions are not always wrong. Some are legitimate complaints in real time. I don't buy into the "trust the coaches" because they are experiences, earn COY, make a lot of money, etc. A large percentage of coaches are fired or lose their jobs. Why? Because one minute they are awesome and another moment they are fallible. We trust the coaches until we don't trust the coaches. I am not saying D'Amour is bad or should be criticized. But this criticism of people who question coaches is wrong. There are times when people do go overboard and are inappropriate. No offense meant!

I didn't call out any names. Are you feeling guilty?**
HokieJack • 05/22/22 07:52 PM ET
Nope, not at all. Just didn't think a snide call out of critics was needed
VAHokie89 • 05/22/22 10:31 PM ET
Pete needs to control it, especially in an elimination game. **
rjh4vt • 05/22/22 07:47 PM ET
He was walking away when that chicken 💩 b-word threw him out

Why? It wouldn’t be acceptable to you, would it?**
PhotoHokieNC • 05/22/22 08:18 PM ET
Pete was upset because the wrong umpire was calling the illegal pitches.
Raleigh Hokie • 05/22/22 08:14 PM ET
In my opinion, he went out there fully intending to get thrown out.
nvpbrown • 05/22/22 08:17 PM ET
I was waiting for her and the Kentucky coach to embrace
RJHokie • 05/22/22 08:36 PM ET
It was so blatantly obvious that she wanted the female coach to win
hokiepro • 05/22/22 09:20 PM ET
Good points.
