I am not speculating: we would know if there was a crime or something very
inappropriate. VT would be legally bound to report. It would not want to be like Baylor, MSU, etc. SO... we need to stop. If antthing was basically a disagreement or argument or whatever, we don't need to know. So... ** Edited by VAHokie89 at 4/29/2023, 10:06:37 AM

This is my logic as well. Obviously something happened that was severe
enough to lead to him being dismissed from the team but not rise to the level of criminal charges or firing. And apparently not bad enough to prevent the coach from seeking other jobs (although to be fair Babcock didn't say he was looking at other coaching jobs). So people assuming the worst case scenario are most likely wrong as we'd probably have seen charges and/or more action on VT's part. I do imagine eventually it will come out as most things do. I think it's fair to wonder what kind of impact this has had on the team both from a pure distraction standpoint and from a pitching development one because I imagine it hasn't helped things.

Water under the bridge now. Onward and upward, hopefully.

What whispers? rumors or innuendo? It has been slience
There have been none here unless i have missed it. And at this point, I don't care. It is about someone else's business unless it was criminal. And there is no assumption that it is.

All we know for sure is that he's not part of the staff but is still a
VT employee because his letter of appointment doesn't expire until June 30th. It's weird because if it seems like it was something extremely egregious then they could have fired him outright letter of appointment be damned. And it seems pretty clear we'll have a vacancy to fill on the staff for next season.

Obviously some sort of negotiated exodus likely involving attorney's on . .

No one is going to touch that question.
