Jimmy Patsos an option at Virginia Tech

Andy Katz said the following:

Loyola (Md.) coach Jimmy Patsos would be a great choice for Virginia Tech after he made the NCAAs and coached in the ACC as an assistant. Patsos is a tremendous worker and brings unbelievable enthusiasm. But the Hokies will likely look for high-level coaches they can’t get (VCU’s Shaka Smart), flirt with others who may make too much money or have a buyout (Richmond’s Chris Mooney) before looking at coaches who fit for cost, timing and location of this job. I will be surprised if Virginia Tech were to lure a coach who has a solid, stable situation in a top-eight league.

All of this sounds like great news to me. VT will look foolish swinging at missing at good coaches and may settle on a coach who I'd be happy to see get promoted to the next level. I also don't think Jimmy Patsos would hurt our recruiting at all. I think he'll help make VT competitive each year, something I like to see from our fellow ACC foes.
