If Oakton where here, he'd agree
That I'm tired is seeing a VT coach who did not make the tournament on TV doing the half time show.
Edit: He'd also make fun of my grammar mistake.

That's entirely separate from the issue of having our well paid coach, again, accept money from CBS to work a tourney he did not make.

Big Time Seth spent little of his precious time on the Currys. He was patronizing and condescending, more important to VT than them. If they wanted their kid to walk on and be a water boy, that would be fine. They could afford to pay for it. Seth was a Big Time talent evaluator. Of course maybe he didn't know that the kid was tearing up every league he ever played, even against older and bigger kids. Seth just didn't want to be bothered with some legacy from another era. He didn't have the time or interest for that. He had just a few scholarships and he was in the process of signing real NBA talent. Real talent, like .... er ... well, real big talent.
Same thing happened again with Seth, even less interest. When Seth tore it up in Lynchburg, and everyone came calling, the Currys didn't take the great evaluator's call.
This was prescient, by the way. It was the same big time know it all arrogance, no time for the athletic administration, no time for other VT coaches or staffs, no time for review of university policies and no time for an NCAA campus staff seminar on rules and regulations that eventually got him dismissed.

There was a lot more info in print at the time, but I'm having trouble finding it right now.
Weaver was apparently angry with Greenberg blowing off a scheduled Department wide workshop where all other VT personnel attended. That was the final straw in combo with the all the turnover on Greenberg's staff.
Re: If Oakton where here, he'd agree
Of course it hunts. Nobody looked at the older Curry in his sophomore or junior year in high school and thought he would contribute at an ACC level. Did he even play AAU? Once it looked like he could play at a D1 level, he was offered a walk on position with a scholarship after, because ALL scholarships were already accounted for.miles wrote:That did not and does not hunt.BG Hokie wrote:Because every other Power 5 coach wanted them so badly...RiverguyVT wrote:Missing on both Curry brothers forever rendered Seth a moron.

I have no idea how good or bad the family was treated by Seth. You act like you do, but none of that is fact, it's hearsay at best. I would bet even the Currys would think you're embellishing Seth's attitude towards them, even though they're probably not big fans of his.

Re: If Oakton where here, he'd agree
Has nothing to do with Curry's. VT was the only P5 school to even consider Curry. Greenberg offered him a preferred walk-on spot with a chance to have a scholarship his sophomore year if warranted. No other major school did. When Curry made his official visit to VT he was eaten alive in pickup games with the team -- just abused. Couldn't get his shot off.miles wrote:Here you go.
