I don't think it's curious at all.
He couldn't come in and play at a level to help VT win ACC games last year once it became obvious that making the NCAA tournament was a realistic goal.
If we lose to Villanova, Clemson and UVA early, Bamisile probably plays a lot more minutes in January/February (and we lose more games than we did) and he develops but at a cost of a great season for the team. Maybe next year's team is better off for it, but that's no longer reality so why bother?
But instead we beat Villanova, Clemson and UVA and are in the running for a Top 4 placement in the ACC and going to the Big Dance...that's what teams play for...
VT has now made 4 straight NCAA tournaments and poised to extend the run. I certainly wish Joe all the best at GW.
