On Tuesday, March 22, 2016, exactly five years after being named to the head coach position of the women’s basketball team, Dennis Wolff, has been dismissed. Virginia Tech Athletics Director, Whit Babcock, explained his reasoning in a released statement.
"In looking at the totality of the program, I felt it was in the best long-term interest of our women’s basketball program to go in a new direction. Coach Wolff and his staff have handled this transition like the professionals that they are.
