In the end,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Greenberg was fired because he hadn made the NCAA tournament for five straight seasons. If Virginia Tech had received bids in 2010 when it was 25-9 or 2011 when it was 22-12, Weaver wouldn be talking about a environment. it was, Greenberg was given a four-year extension two years ago when St. John courted him. He was a two-time ACC coach of the year and won more than 20 games in four of his last six seasons. He only made the NCAA tournament once in nine seasons, which is the same number of times the Hokies had made the tournament in the 17 seasons prior to his arrival. He leaves as the second-winningest basketball coach in Virginia Tech history, and the winningest coach who was not investigated or sanctioned by the NCAA.
More than anything, Greenberg made Virginia Tech basketball relevant. The Hokies were consistently competitive in the ACC and,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], as disappointing as their near-misses were on Selection Sunday in recent seasons,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the school was in the national conversation. The Hokies won at Cameron Indoor Stadium and at the Dean Dome,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], wins that would have seemed unfathomable when Greenberg took over for Ricky Stokes in 2003. Most thought that Virginia Tech would be a sacrificial lamb in the ACC,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], doomed to be a bottom-feeder in basketball while the football team flourished.
Somewhere along the line,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Greenberg lost Weaver and Gabbard. Exactly why is hard to say. Virginia Tech struggled this past season,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], . There was, as is always the case when a team has a bad season, some pressure from prominent boosters who no doubt thought that Roy Williams or Krzyzewski would love to leave their current jobs to coach in Blacksburg.
Greenberg had brought in a strong freshman class and with only one important player graduating,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], next season looked to have the potential to be a good one, especially in an ACC unlikely to have a dominant team.
Maybe that why Weaver made the move now. With Greenberg likely to have another good recruiting class,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it might have been impossible to fire him after next season. The buyout,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], even with four years left on the contract, is a relatively cheap $1.2 million. Weaver decided that the assistants leaving gave him the opening he needed to get rid of Greenberg.
The bottom-line question for Virginia Tech is this: Can you get someone better,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]? Weaver will not hire his next coach based on his ability to produce a environment,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. He will hire him based on his ability to win games and get into the NCAA tournament,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
As Weaver was leaving his news conference Monday,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a reporter asked if he was looking for Beamer in sneakers. take that,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Weaver answered. you? Beamer has won a lot of football games at Virginia Tech. His team has been the best of a second-rate bunch since arriving in the ACC. At the same time,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], whenever the Hokies have stepped out of the ACC and up in class,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], they have come up short. Virginia Tech football is always good,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], almost never great.
That might be a pretty good way to describe Greenberg basketball program. Playing in one of the country toughest basketball conferences, the Hokies were consistently good,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], never great.
