It is pretty much Whit's MO in all searches...

I mean, look at ... Buzz, Mike Young, Pry, etc. It's pretty much par for the course with him, he keeps things pretty close to the vest and very few leaks. Folks who write for a living will put out lists of candidates and depending on the author, sometimes it just throwing poop at a wall, other times it's people reaching out to respected journalists to share tips. I'd assume that if the coach (HC or Asst) isn't in the WBIT or NCAAT, interviews are underway. There is probably work underway with Sands, BOV, NIL groups, etc on the package that can be offered. The overall package, as you saw from Buzz -> Mike, Beamer -> Fuente, Fuente -> Pry, will be better than what the previous coach had. No coach that we'd want to hire would just willingly sign onto a deal without getting all the info. My hope is that we get someone who is personable, energetic, and fun (a WBB version of Coach Pry).

P-O-R-T-A-L Not the instrument availability but the process fluidity

No "Quick Draw" Just a Question !!!
JRHokie • 03/30/24 11:17 AM ET
Whit is a good AD, he has a list and has a way better than average
VTCALS72 • 03/30/24 12:34 PM ET
I didn't expect anything different this soon.
HokieR • 03/30/24 07:02 AM ET
It's not like VT was interviewing coaches before the end of the season...
EDGEMAN • 03/30/24 07:27 AM ET
Really..
JRHokie • 03/30/24 07:49 AM ET
Whit knew he had interviewed, but do you think Whit really thought KB would
UpstateSCHokie • 03/30/24 08:23 AM ET
I think it was more his misread KB's sincerity

Why would this be a surprise?
AnotherTechW • 03/30/24 09:00 AM ET
Exactly!
GphiGhokie • 03/30/24 09:19 AM ET
Maybe UK thinks they're getting KB and GA as a package deal 🤫**
TomTurkey • 03/30/24 12:09 PM ET
End of the day VT could have matched the raise

astrohokiebob • 03/30/24 11:34 AM ET
My daughter went to UK. Lexington is a cool city but the campus isn't that
bburgnative • 03/30/24 11:59 AM ET
If only coaches and players choose by the beauty of the campus, eh? :(**
NokieHokie • 03/30/24 01:36 PM ET
M ore misplaced Whit blame
VTCALS72 • 03/30/24 08:53 AM ET
Whit hasn’t really missed, even Fuente was masterfully done
soflahokie • 03/30/24 09:20 AM ET
Some of the extensions have been very questionable..**

Not Whit. Say it ain't so.🙄. Heck he thought he
VTMONEY94 • 03/30/24 08:39 AM ET
He did not think he could keep Buzz
Hokie83 • 03/30/24 08:47 AM ET
That's good to know. I just remember him trying to keep him. Thanks
VTMONEY94 • 03/30/24 08:48 AM ET
We all grossly misread KB. **

Not all. :)**
NokieHokie • 03/30/24 08:55 AM ET
Did you suspect he was out the door? Now that I rewatched some interviews
pokiehokie83 • 03/30/24 09:05 AM ET
Yes. It made all the sense in the world to me.

No. There is very little cursing on here. There is some backbiting. :)**
