never want to hear anything about support staff again lol atleast for basketball shesh. maybe we could allocate some of these guys to football? weve got by my count 26 coaches? for 14 players? that's almost a 2 to 1 ratio.

Interesting. The Hokie Sports website shows 15 in the coaching/support staff category. Maybe some others are department-wide trainers/doctors/managers.

For comparison, the football team has 38 listed.

Damnit Buzz...now half the damn staff is taller than the team. /s

Amateur superstar and idiot extraordinaire.

Turns out Buzz was just phase I.

Now we're moving on to phase II, where we're allowed to have tall players.

lol. there is NO one on the roster listed as a center. but as long as we can get buckets i don't care how tall they are.

Good. I'm 100% anti-center. To win in today's game, your big men have to be skilled. A 6-10 skilled guy like Blackshear (hopefully Ojiako can become one too) is so much more valuable than a 7 foot center who can barely move.

This is how you do it.

I'm feeling better and better about VT basketball.

I'm curious about Grant Yates. Local kid from Haymarket VA that my son used to play with. Came to us vis Christopher Newport. First I've seen he's on the team. Scholarship player?

Walk-on at Virginia Tech after transferring from Christopher Newport University.

He scored 17 total points in DIII action with CNU last year... so he's not gonna play

weve got by my count 26 coaches?

I think the younger looking guys in the back row must be like the scout team or something, hokiesports lists 4 coaches and 11 support staff

Now finish up them taters; I'm gonna go fondle my sweaters.

the guy between these 2 looks pretty tall. 21 John Ojiako , 22 Keve Aluma , we cant get him off scout team and on the court? lol

Lol, my guess is they are standing on a platform in the back-row, otherwise the whole scout team is approaching the 7' range

Now finish up them taters; I'm gonna go fondle my sweaters.

Correct. Given they are 6-10 and 6-9, the ones behind them would be in the 7-2 to 7-4 range. It's a platform or stage.

Oh God, I would stop watching VT basketball. Tacko seems like a good dude, but he is the least watchable and least skilled player I've ever seen.

They don't include everybody on the staff on the Hokiesports page.

The kids in the back row are probably managers

Outside it's night time, but inside it's LeDay

Am I the only one bothered by the one scoreboard asymmetrically hanging down on the upper left side?

My wife takes the kids and leaves the house while I watch my Hokie games.........nuff said

Probably. But the asymmetrical backboard is driving me crazy!

i mean if were being technical am i the only one bothered that who ever put the score up on the score board is dyslexic? this is the 2019 basketball team not the 1920 basketball team.

It's the (20)19-(20)20 basketball team. So 19-20 is correct. But I can see where you'd see that.
