I remember being there in 2003/2004 during the start of the VT phenomenon. He helped to make VT basketball somewhat relevant. I met him in 2004 during one of those things where the players all gathered up on the concourse of Cassell and signed shirts for the fans. I still have that shirt around somewhere.
He was a good man, and he certainly did a lot of positive things for this program. Remember what the times were like before he came here. Look at the change. Sure, he did poorly this year, but a lot of his talent left due to graduation. He took this team to the cusp of tournaments several times. He was a good coach. His time is sadly done. Good luck to him in his future endeavors.

"Virginia Tech isn't an attractive hoops job. They should hire ODU's Blaine Taylor. Great coach. Proven system. Recruits area."

then can the head coach?!? Makes no sense whatsoever. Greenberg should at least been allowed to finish out his remaining year. How many of these recruits will we lose?
Ah, there is nothing finer than finishing a blog that is pure conjecture one hour before a head coach gets sacked.
It's a pretty good time to just clean house and start fresh.
I agree that the wording is pretty cryptic. This wouldn't be the first time Teel was totally wrong, either.
So, let the speculation for a new coach begin. I vote Jim Harrick, becaue frankly who the hell else would want this job?
Makes sense given the assistant coaching exodus recently. Though I think now is the wrong time to do it. Last year was bad but that can't be the only reason. If this has been in the works for a while, it should have been done last year. If you're gonna give him another chance with a team after Delaney left, give him another year with Green and the freshman who now have a year under their belt.
He should get another season with this group of kids.
Anyone know what the 4:00 Presser is about?
Another pro-Hokies voice in the 757, and as a QB, he can really say "Come follow me".

Great job, VTBox!!
“I’ve been thinking about (making the commitment) for a while now,” Bucky admitted. “Friday night, while I was up there, it felt good. Me and Andrew (Motu’apuaka) were just thinking that we should come here. We slept on it, woke up the next day and made the commitment today at around two o’clock.”
“I’ll get to focus more on school and I won’t have to focus on college. I know where I’m going,” said the quarterback. “I’ll work on building up our recruiting class and get some other good players to come (to Virginia Tech).”
Maybe Bucky will be the JC of the 2013 class, and convince some quality recruits to sign.
Love the name Pfaff. Reminds me of reading Spider-man Comics as a kid when he would shoot a web over the baddies "PFAFF". Hopefully this dude will be like a web over the opposing D.
Got Bud Foster's autograph and a pic with him, myself, and my son at Campus Emporium Friday Night. Bud is a super good guy and took time to chat it up with everyone and did not hurry folks along.
Wanted to hook up with some folks from twitter and this site at the tailgate, but could not find anyone. Wanted to go to TOTS, but the line was way long. Also, got a pic of my son with the Hokie bird. We had awesome seats for the Spring Game and did get to see the players take the field for warmups, so it was not a total loss. Well worth the 4+ hour drive from PA.
The best one was the reasoning why the big recruiting day wasn't that good for VT. One excuse was they were loaded with talent on the o line. That obviously worked well for them.
Subject: There are good reasons ML did not/will not offer [Mihota]. VT can have him.

When are those 38-0,bro shirts coming out?
hush hush .. grumble, grumble.
haha
1 more this week.
We got a chance to see him during the playoffs last year. He had a MONSTER second half. Motor never quits. Good upfield and lateral speed. Can't wait!
Took 30-mins to leave TOTS at 1AM!
Didn't realize how big he was (6'5" or 6'6" depending on the source). He could continue the trend set by LT3, which is the direction I want VT to continue down. That, and he's recruited as a QB prospect right off the bat.
I saw him at TOTS too. Awesome. Lots of former players DT on both Friday and Saturday, it was quite a scene.
is off to a good start. Mihota is one big boy for a sophomore. If he's got the talent, nice grab early. Having Shane in the ear of Hand and Brown, both expected to be Rivals100 talent (maybe top 10), has gotta give VT an early advantage. 2014, with the number scholies available and talent in VA, could set new records for VT recruiting.
If all this speculation is true, who would we go out and get to be our head coach? While I have wanted this to happen for a little while now, I don't know who is left out there now that we have waited so long to fire Greenberg. With all the transfers and assistant coaches leaving this move would make sense.
