It's partly TIC. The idea of having an assistant for time management is intentionally ridiculous. Also, Pry hasn't gotten better in his own. He needs help.
Nothing wrong with ending up in a three way
It's infuriating the talent disparity of Virginia Tech teams that miss wide open looks at the basket, but other teams are getting mauled on the way up but can still drain the bucket.
I don't really know how bad FSU, Cal, Stanford, & BC are in basketball this year, but I can see an easy path to VT being left out of the championship tourney in Charlotte. If their shooting does improve in December, I think their legs are going to run out in January and we'll be in low single-digit conference wins come tourney time.
Like others have stated, they are fun to watch with how they never quit and sometimes put on a good bball show, but it's nothing cohesive, nothing with an identity, and I can't pinpoint things that are showing improvement (as a team) as the season moves along.
Awesome, might have to check that out if I get the time! I always go stay overnight when I make a trip down there, so my best time would be the in the morning before heading back to MD. I've hiked the cascades many times, though, so I know exactly where you're talking about!
OH! So Jeff was one of those illegal recruits! -- JK, this seems overblown. I remember my high school WT Woodson recruiting both soccer and lacrosse players 25 years ago and winning state championships with U.S.-level soccer players Abe Thompson and Clarence Goodson. So, idk, but perhaps 14 transfers all in one year that follow a coach would be an obvious recruiting scheme. I guess recruiting is legal as long as you don't make it super obvious. And even in this case, it was legal until it wasn't.
And definitely sucks for those players and the Overton family.

Why not three?
So weird. Multiple people watching at our house and not one person said anything about the feed.

# | Hokie Hoops Central: Virginia Tech (3-2) vs Michigan (4-1) 6pm FS1 And this sums it up
Tuned in to see enough of VT on the wrong end of a 63-36 marathon of a run. https://t.co/NmYEQFu7Cr— Conor O'Neill (@ConorONeill_DI) November 26, 2024

# | Hokie Hoops Central: Virginia Tech (3-2) vs Michigan (4-1) 6pm FS1 It wasn't just us
I tried to be an ACC #ally and watch Michigan-VT but the lighting is worse than games at the Joel.— Conor O'Neill (@ConorONeill_DI) November 25, 2024
Is something wrong with your feeds? High seas, perhaps? Everything looked good from what I just watched on FS1 on YouTube TV.

# | Anyone else tracking this debacle / scandal in Fairfax with Hayfield HS? Hayfields AD announced his pending LOA before the original VHSL ruling. His wife accepted a job overseas. It now looks like his LOA won't be necessary because he likely won't have a job.
My only real problem in everything that happened initially was that VHSL reviewed all the transfers and approved them.
I have seen the stuff about the text messages with the AD but am tired of adults punishing children for adult decisions and when said children were approved to be there.
If VHSL had such a big problem then why didn't they do a more thorough vetting process? The majority of the kids transferred mid year last year. VHSL had the ENTIRE summer to do due diligence but chose not to and it was only when Hayfield started destroying teams that the other coaches filed grievances.
This does impact the Hokies to a degree as Jeff Overton is on Hayfield and his dad is the coach at the center of all this.
Didn't Houston coach at JMU?
H.O.K.I.E.S...Hokies
Maybe the answer isn't to fire Pry, or Whit. Maybe Ballein is the one who really needs the pink slip.

# | Hokie Hoops Central: Virginia Tech (3-2) vs Michigan (4-1) 6pm FS1 It honestly is mainly Rechsteiner being a much poorer version of Pedula.
How many times tonight did he drive into the lane only to stop mid dribble right in the middle of the lane with no where to go with the ball?
I want the whole season to be about developing Johnson, Hammond and Jones while keeping Jaydon Young happy.
Next year put Gurdak in with Sincere Jones to go with this years freshmen.

# | Hokie Hoops Central: Virginia Tech (3-2) vs Michigan (4-1) 6pm FS1 This second half unfortunately is how I expected the whole game to go. This was more Michigan not making all the mistakes they made in the first half. 11 turnovers at halftime and only 14 now.
This group plays hard but they are badly hamstrung offensively.
Its gonna take a minor miracle for them to score 70+ on P4 competition.
For someone labeled an "offensive genius" watching Mike Young's offense drives me crazy almost every game and it seems to get worse each year

# | Hokie Hoops Central: Virginia Tech (3-2) vs Michigan (4-1) 6pm FS1 Hokies have to stop the "help" defense outside the arc ...it has allowed Michigan to get at least 6 bunnies when they leave a guy open in the lane

There are at least two high schools in Loudoun County that have been recruiting football players for ten or more years. They are consistently in the mix for Regional championships and State championships. Never seen them called out for it but they have had stable coaching staff for most of that time. Really came down to the other coaches not liking getting beat by a first year coach and want to play high and mighty.
