If defensive acumen is a hiring criteria...


It will be someone with experience defending ball screens in a similar manner to MY or someone with experience defending ball screens multiple ways. It will not be a zone coach, at least not with bringing a zone to VT in mind.

Trying to add dramatically different philosophies to a polished product can set your program back. It isnt as simple as adding something new. Youll be teaching something wholly different and thus spending less time on what your base defense is, making it less of a finished product.

I expect a hire of someone pretty unfamiliar to this board or to VT in general, but someone with a background similar to the footprint of the program whether it be in offensive, defensive philosophies or recruiting footprint or both.
