I never actually said I want to hold any players to their commitments and your circle logic of moving from JJ being fired to how Seth was fired doesn't make a lot of sense. If you were an Athletic Director, that had FIVE professional assistant coaches over a few seasons leave the program citing concerns of how Greenberg treats people with utter disrespect, what would your next move be? I would probably bring in the other staff members and the players on the team to see if it was a one off situation or a real issue. Weaver determined that Greenberg was a real issue and fired him. He did it poorly but he did it with the right information.
As for the players. We didn't hold Harrell to his NLI when Greenberg was fired and we let Finney-Smith out of his scholarship at the same time. If there are players on this team that want the same opportunity than they should get it.
All of my posts about the incoming recruits so far have said that I hope that whoever Whit hires is able to convince them to stay because they bring shooting ability that is currently missing on this roster. I never said I want to hold anyone to their commitment. Not sure where you are coming from in that regard. If they choose to opt out of their NLI, than they should be allowed to do so. So far, at least from the one tweet that Joe posted from TJ Lang it appears that the recruits are in a wait and see who is hired before making a decision mode.
Any word yet on whether Danny Sheridan will be making an appearance on the Finebaum Show today? Clearly there was a bagman involved in this hire.
He was never on our list. This is good news for us actually, because Auburn has a lot of money and could of gotten someone on our list easily but they didn't.
If not him, then Bill Cowher.
I say we bring back Vincent and Kyle, to help Kendall sell him on DBU. He could become a Fuller by association.
I would LOVE to land Buzz Williams but do you think he would say anything favorable if we offered him a $800K pay cut?
He's a perfect fit for them
Tom Crean's at $1.8M at Indiana right now, escalating to $2.1M over the next 5 years of his contract. If they fire him, offer him $1.8M immediately.
Woooo.....$2.8M.....that's not going to happen. Moving on....
Mine neither. Beamer and the other coaches have kept the VT name clean so far, and I want to keep it that way.
You wouldn't have to make a run at Lutz, just offer him a contract and he'd say yes. We could have had him last time for next to nothing.
You gotta take Matt Brady off, JMU wanted to fire him 54 weeks ago and then he got hot and won their tournament and they had to keep him. He's always on our local news and he's a bore. JMU's women's coach, Kenny Brooks (former Dukes star) is much more inspiring.
I'd love to see Buzz Williams get a $2M offer and see what he says.
I agree with your favorites. Lonergan will get the first call.
He was never on mine. Dirty programs belong in the SEC, he can stay there.
2 years ago, Wright was very interested but at that time, Nova was a bit tired of him and he may have been looking for a place to bail. Word on the street is that we were close and that we offered him $2M.
Now he's got them again as a 2 seed, so the relationship may be a little healthier and, thus, his interest in us a little less.
Here is the post announcing his return.

So you want to hold these kids to their commitment after coach JJ that they sign to play for gets fired, but SG needs to go when the players say so?!?
Its only fair to let these kids decide if they want to play for our new-hire HC or not, and once they make that commitment its work-work-work, regardless of whether the kids think it too hard, are not getting enough time for video games, or they're not the #1 shooting option.
I hope that Babcock can turn this thing around with the right hire. This is his first major decision he needs to find a HC who can run a program, fill the seats, recruit, and create a buzz. Cinci is has been wildly successful in BBall, so he knows what the other side looks like.
Wyatt Teller....could he play Center?
Did we read the article above where it mentioned about Taraschke leaving and returning? He came back oddly enough right after Grimes left.
What is this football you speak of? Didn't you see that we had become a basketball fan base? Where have you been?
Seriously though, that is good news and would be a quarterbacks nightmare of a secondary.
I will never see this gif and not give a leg
Would an old Vegas Robinson jersey count?

# | Babcock Press Conference regarding Coaching Change 9:30 AM Shott Media Center My interpretation of the press conference: this guy is good (Whit).
I vaguely remember it was pretty packed last year. I was quite drunk though.
Chewie, is that you??
To be fair, I don't think the article above explicitly mentions that Taraschke returned.
