Coach Brooks came to Tech and built a solid program while representing the University well. He recruited and kept 2 generational players that are great Ambassadors for the Tech. Job well done Coach Brooks. I can't speak to all of Coach Brooks' reasons for leaving but few people would turn down a million dollars & more resources. When you talk about loyalty from coaches every coach is a couple of down seasons away from getting fired heck people were pushing for Frank Beamer to retire or be fired his last couple of years. To me the real loyalty question is the fan base. Will the fans keep showing up or will WBB go back to players begging for people to come to their games. If fans keep showing up then players will want to come and stay at Tech. The timing makes sense, Coach Brooks has less emotional investment in the players that are returning since only Wentzel has been here for a full year. That crappy thing about this is UK leaking it just before the Marshall game. That was low class. But to think that Coach Brooks did anything but his best during the tournament is ridiculous. Tech will lose a few players but if Whit can make a quick hire we should be fine. This is still an ACC program with 5 starting positions availible.
