You can't make that decision based on BB only. Wrestling just won an ACC championship. They donate to the Athletic department, just the basketball dept. H2Okies, Wrestling, T & F should suffer donations b/c Basketball is struggling?

Look at a couple other "experiences". Shooting guns with Timothy Olyphant? That would be awesome.

This has been done before and is too easily taken sexually and thus inappropriate. There's really no need for it.

Hiring JJ was a "money saving" move to the detriment of the program. Retaining him will be a "money saving" move to the detriment of the program. Not spending money to better the program is 75% of the reason the program is where it is right now. Spend money and make basketball better, stop the madness.

1. JJ was hired because we need a coach to step in halfway through the off season. We needed a familiar face to save whatever recruits and current players (Erick Green) that we could. Weaver put us in a situation where JJ was probably the best option.
2. The money saving is absolutely an issue that must be considered. Say you're buying a car; your current car is worth $1k, and you have $5k saved up. Do you sell the current car and buy a new car now for $6k, or, do you ride the current car to the ground over the next year (in which time you save up another $5k) and buy a nicer car a year later? You can't buy the car that requires a $10k downpayment if you only have $6k.

I think it's so telling that all the arguments for keeping JJ are "to save money" or "i feel bad for him." Absolutely none of them are "JJ is a really good coach who was dealt a bad hand. You can see flashes of his vision for VTBB. This is a guy who's ceiling aligns with our goals for the program - an NCAA Tournament Bid about every 3 years, and maybe the odd Sweet 16 run if things work out right."

I think JJ has potential to be a good coach, and I think that his progression was hindered by the position he accepted. I do think you see flashes of his vision, the question is can he make his vision a reality? He knows where the team is, and he knows what he wants them to be, but can he get them from point A to point B? IMO, this is still unknown. Between that, and our financial situation, I support giving JJ one more year to prove himself.

Heck, while the weight I could do would be pathetic compared to 60 year old Arnold, to learn from the master? Priceless.

I doubt he's getting many of the bonuses this year...

B.O.O.B.

This made me smile: "six seniors who could compete for playing time"

Andy, when are you going to interview Searels? That will be an interesting talk...
The TKP community is looking forward to that discussion.

bwahaha. guess you have to live in/be from charlottesville to get that one.

For the rest of you, club 216 is a bar..."where all is bright and gay"

...and yet another thing we win at. Drunk buses: VT has the Hooptie ride system, UVA has this.

If you recall, UVA gave away free Qdoba at one game this past season if the 'Hoos scored a touchdown. So that was the joke.
