If CMY is a player's coach, then teach them how to win; and not just to execute a system for the sake of the system.
These guys were fighters earlier in the season. Something changed. A couple scenarios come to mind. A coaches inability to rise above that means he's not running the team.
If it is pay to play now and there is an opportunity to play more, you do your job. If you don't work you don't get paid.
Best of luck to him. Was a good Hokie for a lot of years. Put up with a lot of junk at the end too.
Interviews with Paige and the analysts video.
As mentioned above by Hokietopher, Paige and Jessie both decided to take their 8-hour layover in Ruby. Apparently, neither was planning on it originally. Wanted to go on to Galena, but plans changed. Jessie had wanted to do some long runs to see if Paige could keep up or if he would lose her. He said she seems to be in a different mindset this year. Did extend the gap a bit, but not by much. But after the long run into Ruby, he wanted to rest the team.
Paige was looking at the schedule. Said her clock was not working and Ryan gave her his watch to get the time. Pushing through to Galena would have meant running during the day and sleeping at night, while it is better for the dogs to be running at night when cooler given that temps are rising. Taking the 8 hours at Ruby gets her team's day-night rest-run schedule in synch. Dogs are doing great, but she is very tired and having a hard time staying awake.
Paige mentioned some equipment issues. The aforementioned clock, she knocked over her cooker, probably other things too.
While at Ruby, a raven kept trying, and sometimes succeeding, to steal food from Paige's dogs. 1 dog was trying to get it and eat it (failed) but is keeping the dogs from sleeping. Bruce or Greg (analyst and reporter) wondered if it was trained raven from Jessie to annoy Paige's dogs. Maybe it's a UVa raven. Who knows?

Blow it in bottom of 7th. Lose 7-6
Friday evening, March 13 ~8:40 PM east coast/4:40 PM Alaska
Jessie and Paige continue to run 1 and 2. Riley Dyche is right behind Paige, but he has not done his 8-hour layover, so nowhere near as close as he looks. Several other top teams are in Ruby taking the 8-hours with Mille Porsild needing 2 more hours followed by Travis Beals and Ryan Redington, who both need ~4 more hours. Standings are:
1. Jessie Holmes running 14 dogs 520 mile in/454 to Nome
2. Paige Drobny running 14 dogs 505 miles in/470 to Nome
3. Riley Dyche running 15 dogs 502 miles in/473 to Nome
4. Mille Porsild resting in Ruby with 16 dogs, 495 miles in/480 to Nome
5. Ryan Redington resting in Ruby with 16 dogs, 495 miles in/480 to Nome
6. Travis Beals resting in Ruby with 15 dogs, 495 miles in/480 to Nome
7. Michelle Phillips resting in Ruby with 12 dogs, 495 miles in/480 to Nome
8. Jeff Deeter resting in Ruby with 15 dogs, 495 miles in/480 to Nome
9. Pete Kaiser resting in Ruby with 12 dogs, 495 miles in/480 to Nome

Castine double ties it at 6
Chatfield homer
6-4 in 7th
10-1. Christ we cant throw strikes tonight
9-1 now. 5 of their 6 runs got on base by walks.
Fire everyone involved in basketball, the culture is all wrong
l was in a deal for around $600M for a small piece of land in ashburn until it feel through. It was underpriced per sq ft but thats only because it had to sell as one sale to one buyer and their arent a lot with $600m around
Had a chance to cut it some more but left runners at 2nd and 3rd
6-3 now in top of 6th
Yaeger solo
Mizelle 2 run homer
We've out-hit them 6-4
But they've out walked us 8-1
Welp down 6-0 now
Its much smaller than the GW complex and that just sold to Amazon for less. I think it was like ~$470m. There would be offset restrictions on the Commanders property with the creek that runs behind it.
Lost 11-6
$500M?, only that low if they go to a single buyer. they can divide the land up and sell it for probably around $2B.
duke adds another in the bottom of the 4th.
Mazz with a 2 out walk, advance to second on wild pitch, base hit.
0-5
Not wanting to compete, why do we want them here?
Just to clarify. He was asking for more NIL and coaches budget/salary. CMY is happy with his salary (he's very "oh, shucks" Beamer)...and more than he ever anticipated making.
I think it's more likely that those who are staying (or at least are considering) don't want to play. If we forced them to play or opt out, they will immediately portal.
CMY is a players coach. I'm sure he put to them and they decided they don't want to, not him.
Walks have been the biggest issue for the Hokies. Most opponent runs have been from walks.
Hes always a Hokie! Good luck in whatever endeavors he pursues.
I still want to hear the story about NOLA Pry alluded to in a press conference.....
