I don't hate him, but I think he's a mediocre basketball coach who is much
better talking about basketball than coaching it.
Note that I didn't say he was a bad coach, but he wasn't a great one either. He was the coach at VT for 9 seasons and reached the NCAA tournament 1 time. He winning percentage at VT (58%) closely mirrors his career record. His teams were tough (a quality I really like) and played good defense but were lost offensively quite a bit of the time. Far too many possessions ended with someone trying to unsuccessfully beat his guy off the dribble.
We certainly could have done worse at coach, but also could have done better. I think that he and Virginia Tech are better off in their current roles.
