Looking for another coach who didn't receive a lot of votes but nonetheless was often mentioned? Virginia Tech might have somewhat quietly pulled off one of the better hires of 2019: Mike Young.
"He switched to a different offensive style at Wofford around 2007-08 and it changed the course of his career," one coach told me. "His teams are so tough, disciplined and together. It's nearly impossible to disrupt or rattle his teams. He has an adjustment for everything. He is a basketball genius. I've been telling people for years that Mike Young is the best basketball coach in the country. If he gets the players at Virginia Tech, look out."
