Time for Doc to
put up or shut up.
After the Duke game I saw the coach from Virginia Tech was in his 8th year. He has led his teams to 4 NIT trips and 1 NCAA. With the win over Duke on Saturday they might get into the NCAA again, and if they do they will have in his 8 years:
50% NIT
25% NCAA
25% Nothing
Virginia Tech is a football school but they have a little more basketball tradition than us.
After year five Doc will be at 60% NIT and 40% Nothing. Because of what and when he inherited it and because Tom Osborne and I think he can coach, he gets three more years. (I know that pains you to read but he ain't goin' nowhere soon)
After that full 8 years I would expect at a minimum 25% NCAA, 50% NIT and 25% Nothing. Which means (assuming NIT this year) he needs two NCAA births in the next three years. I still think he is going to get there.
