What's this?

Something looks out of whack here..

I was a proponent of hiring DW. On paper he is a solid hire and I am even more optimistic with the recent hire of Dooley as assistant. But the few times I have watched this team play they just seem to be lost.

I admit I have seen only a hand full of games and all against really good teams. But the number of unforced turnovers? The continued dribble until launching a 3 pointer? Takes me back to the SG days for the men.

Too often the defense seems lost and the opponent ends up with a lay up. To me that is as much hustle and coaching as it is talent.

The other ladies sports are competitive within the ACC. Time for basketball to join that list.

Yes the women are greatly improved. -- maddogbob 01/26/2016 04:41AM

One thing I should add. Don't expect McDonald's All Americans -- maddogbob 01/26/2016 04:58AM

She was just a nominee...her fellow signee Dawn Chriss -- vthokieq 01/26/2016 10:59AM

Thanks for the info Sportsman and q. Still, -- maddogbob 01/26/2016 7:02PM

Brittany Cook was a McD AA nominee -- hokiehoo1 01/26/2016 9:17PM

That's awesome! We need more doctors... -- EDGEMAN 01/27/2016 07:12AM

Re: That's awesome! We need more doctors... -- hokiehoo1 01/27/2016 9:26PM

Yeah, Buzz is comparable (rolls eyes) -- 48zip 01/25/2016 08:44AM

Not trying to compare. Looking for honest reason why one -- HokieHeartNSoul 01/25/2016 7:11PM

Mainly coaching talent. But.....look at -- 48zip 01/25/2016 8:14PM

I think Wolff is making $233,000 plus other benefits. -- Old Line Hokie 01/25/2016 9:25PM

Rather not have a Hoo, no matter how good she might be. ** -- HokieHeartNSoul 01/25/2016 9:55PM

Sounds like wbball is not that important at VT. That's fine but you aren't -- tweed7 01/25/2016 9:44PM

Oh, I agree with you! ** -- HokieHeartNSoul 01/25/2016 9:24PM

WBB is more competitve than WLAX in the ACC. -- Old Line Hokie 01/25/2016 4:41PM

W lax has 2 ACC wins in 12 years-- uva in OT & BC, also by 1 goal. ** -- squarerootofone 01/25/2016 10:29PM

I knew it was something like that... -- Old Line Hokie 01/25/2016 10:53PM

Difference: WBB is a revenue sport. ** -- HokieHeartNSoul 01/25/2016 7:13PM

How much revenue does WBB generate? ** -- Old Line Hokie 01/25/2016 10:56PM

If it's $1, it's more than WLAX. Thing thing is, with a good program -- HokieHeartNSoul 01/26/2016 09:36AM

I'd bet that only a few WBB programs make a profit. -- Old Line Hokie 01/26/2016 11:19AM

Can't be much. Cassell is always pretty empty. ** -- tweed7 01/25/2016 11:02PM

I believe it actually loses money. ** -- maddogbob 01/26/2016 01:37AM

I doubt attendance even pays the staff's salaries. -- Old Line Hokie 01/26/2016 11:12AM

Nobody makes a profit- not even TN with best attendance. See Article. -- KnoxHokie 01/26/2016 7:12PM

Per article TN and UCONN each spend over 6 miliion -- hokiehoo1 01/27/2016 9:34PM

Wow. I assumed UT and UCONN were at least break-even. ** -- 48zip 01/27/2016 2:55PM

I doubt Whit pulls the plug on Wolff.... -- Old Line Hokie 01/25/2016 11:10AM

I think Whit will need to give a longer extension -- maddogbob 01/25/2016 6:07PM

Spill the beans. Which recruits are lobbying for a DW extension? ** -- tweed7 01/26/2016 09:12AM

Sorry but yours is a dumb comment. See Frank Beamer. Recruits -- maddogbob 01/26/2016 7:05PM

And a REAL coach who wins would do wonders for recruiting. ** -- tweed7 01/26/2016 9:24PM

You said we were Top 20 last year. Not bad IMHO. ** -- 48zip 01/27/2016 09:47AM

By the way, VT is 14-5 which is winning. We have a -- maddogbob 01/27/2016 01:38AM

Serious question: are the recruits he's brought in ACC caliber? -- HokieHeartNSoul 01/25/2016 7:14PM

Thanks! ** -- HokieHeartNSoul 01/25/2016 9:56PM

Yes. VP, DP, KK, BB all had ACC offers per quick google search! ** -- tweed7 01/25/2016 9:28PM

Last years class was a top 20 class. That would be Hicks, Gilmer & Koshuta -- maddogbob 01/25/2016 8:25PM

Recruiting has gotten better.... -- Old Line Hokie 01/25/2016 9:16PM

Coming in greatly overweight does put one behind. -- maddogbob 01/26/2016 01:39AM
