Christian Webster hired to Stetson as Asst Coach

EDIT: Never mind, Stetson is not poaching our staff. I completely forgot that we parted ways with Webster back in March

Seems like an odd move to me after 9 years in the ACC, unless he is going as a head coach in waiting or something?

With the Hokies: Webster, who was retained by Tech head coach Mike Young, has been a key factor in the Hokies' success. Being a big part of easing the transition with the returners and the new coaching staff in 2019-20, Webster was instrumental in guiding point guard Wabissa Bede into taking a big step in his game from a distributing standpoint, following the graduation of all-conference player Justin Robinson. Improving his assists numbers by more than 115 percent from the previous year, Bede would go on to average the fourth-most assists (5.53) in the ACC and the best assist-turnover ratio (3.34) in the league, which finished sixth nationally. In 2020-21, Webster was crucial in the Hokies being ranked for 14 weeks in the AP Top 25, the third-longest stretch in school history, and guiding them to the NCAA Tournament, as well as the No. 3 seed in the ACC Tournament, tying the highest seed in program history.

Before Young and Co. arrived in Blacksburg, Webster and the Hokies went on arguably the greatest stretch in program history, making the NCAA Tournament three years in a row for the first time and recording a program-best 26 wins in 2018-19.
