Coached Hokies to 1995 NIT Championship
CHARLOTTE, N.C.-- Bill Foster, 79, who led Virginia Tech to the 1995 NIT Championship and the 1996 NCAA Tournament, passed away on Wednesday afternoon in Charlotte, North Carolina after a long battle with Parkinson’s Disease.
The native of Hemingway, South Carolina is the only coach to serve as the head coach of three current Atlantic Coast Conference institutions (Clemson, Miami and Virginia Tech) and is among a handful of coaches in NCAA history to have multiple 20-win seasons at four different schools.
Foster coached the Hokies from 1991 until his retirement in 1997 and posted a 101-78 record at Tech.
