My gut says he had his "fair chance" and that I wouldn't miss him if he were dropped. That's me. But, knowing the way Tech does things, I'm pretty sure JJ will be back for another go at it. But if he doesn't make NIT at least, he's gone.
lots of sleet so far, this is kinda messy, its mother nature being the ultimate tease.
temperatures wanna rise due to march/spring weather and the cold front is keeping it to cold to high in the atmosphere too make it a straight rain storm. however there is a dry slot (which Ive mentioned before) coming through Blacksburg shortly, don't expect significant accumulation. These dry slots are nearly impossible to predict long-term so don't expect much accumulation haha also! ill try to start doing widespread forecasts throughout the state/region from here on out on future events! sorry my girlfriend doesn't have the best internet and these things are kinda tricky especially with all the tools at my disposal so again sorry it wasn't my A-game and if you all have any questions about any weather related phenomena ill do my best to answer them if you post em on here whether (haha im punny) its sun devils or precipitation cores, you name it and ill see what I can do. ALSO are there any physics majors or people who majored in physics at one time? im thinking about picking up a minor. is astrophysics damn near impossible?
As hard as it has been to watch Tech basketball these past two seasons, we are better off without Greenberg. We had a massive amount of players transferring out under him: Nigel Munson, Tyrone Garland, Ben Boggs, Dorian Finney-Smith, Robert Brown (all of which have been very successful on their new teams, except for Robert Brown.) He was not popular amongst our players. I will preface this statement with an "I don't have an exact name of a source" but I have heard rumors swirling around that Greenberg was fired so abruptly because Eric Green, JT Thompson, and Dorian Finney-Smith walked into Weaver's office and asked to transfer out of VT because of Greenberg. That, coupled with JJ leaving for a "lateral" move to Clemson potentially prompted Weaver to make this all-of-a-sudden decision. If these rumors were to be true it would completely qualify and explain Weaver's knee-jerk decision.
As far as JJ is concerned, he should have one more year to show progress. He has been dealt a team riddled with holes and no depth. He is bringing in a very good recruiting class for us and we should see if he can pull a .500 or above season next year. If we have another abysmal season, we should then search for a new coach.

I was gonna say. You look strong like a mid distance guy.
Hooptie, why? Why did you stoop to this level. I know you're in the business for the money, but this makes me dissapoint.
The spirit of the rule is to not get too high or too low because of one recruit.

The cupholders line got me.
Loudoun County is all snow. Sticking to everything. Power just went out. Fun times.
There's some sort of cold precipitation coming down in spurts in Blacksburg, still not quite sure what it is though.
Some snow mixed in with the rain in Roanoke.

I was in Savannah this weekend and had on my green VT shirt. Must've had at least 20 ppl come up and start talking to me that went to VT or were Hokie fans. It was awesome.
I always wonder what those other 5 were???
1500m. I pretty much stuck to the mile and the 800.
I've never seen it snow so hard at 46 degrees
That right there is a nice uniform. What distance?
I can not speak for the monetary aspects of keeping JJ etc but anyone who sees some sort of a silver lining or improvement in the last half of the season is wearing rose colored glasses. We were repeatedly embarrassed and down by double digits in so many ACC contests I cant even remember the number.. down by 20 in some, so there was no improvement whatsoever. We won 1 game in 2014 and finished like 1-17 in the last 18 games or so.. these are horrific results.. downright embarrassing really. In fact, this team was like last years.. it got worse as the season progressed.
We got what we paid for in JJ... look he is a great guy, my kid went to his BBall camp this summer and loved it.. it was a ton of fun.. he was great, the players were great but this is big business and you cant give a completely unproven coach the keys to the amusement park in the ACC w/o any HC experience.. it is crazy. I read earlier today only 2 HC's have been hired in the ACC in the last 20 years w/o first being a head coach elsewhere. JJ very well might be qualified.. after he cuts his teeth at another lower level school and first proves his ability to do it all.. recruit, coach, administer, manage and WIN! Totally premature to hire him and we got what we paid for.. there is a reason he only makes a third of what many other ACC coaches make.. he has not proven he is qualified!
Here is the question to answer, knowing what we now know.. would JJ be hired again under the same circumstances.. the answer is a resounding no so we need to cut bait and move on because we are delaying the inevitable. Clearly that is what Whit Babcock is considering seeing how no public endorsement has been made like was made for the women's BBall team.
