When the Virginia Tech Hokies hired Mike Young as head basketball coach in 2019, some who follow the program were disappointed athletic director Whit Babcock didn’t land a bigger “name.”
How are you feeling now?
In his second year in charge of the Hokies, Young has Virginia Tech at 15-5 on the season, including a 9-4 mark in ACC play. Unfortunately, the COVID-19 pandemic has overshadowed much of the good work Young and his team has done this season.
Young, a Radford native who played his college basketball at Emory & Henry, spent 30 years at Wofford, including 17 as head coach.
