Hoke hoke hokies.

Seth Greenberg out as Virginia Tech men’s basketball coach.

He went 170-123 in nine seasons, went to the NIT tourney five times and the NCAA tourney once.

The ESPN article made it sound like his firing was completely unexpected, but the one I’ve chosen to link above indicates the firing had less to do with his record and more to do with turnover among his assistant coaches.

“I don’t like coaches leaving an ACC program where we have constantly got to replenish all of our staff,” Weaver said. “I can certainly understand some coaches leaving. But to have as many leave as we had sat the wrong way with me.”

So is the implication here that there was a management problem? Because that’s what I’m picking up from AD Weaver’s statement.
