"Va. Tech's Greenberg named ACC Coach of the Year" (AP)

 Va. Tech's Greenberg named ACC Coach of the Year
3-15-05

RALEIGH (AP) - The end of the season didn't go exactly the way
Virginia Tech's Seth Greenberg wanted, but he got quite a consolation
prize.

Greenberg was named Atlantic Coast Conference Coach of the Year by The
Associated Press on Tuesday after leading the Hokies to a fourth-place
finish during the regular season. In a preseason media poll, they were
picked 10th in the 11-team league.

"It's obviously is an honor," Greenberg said. "It's a reflection of the
team and the staff, and the things were able to accomplish this season.
It's nice to be recognized by the people that evaluated your season."

Greenberg received 58 of 121 votes by the Atlantic Coast Sports Media
Association, easily beating North Carolina's Roy Williams for the
award. Mike Krzyzewski was third, but the ballots had to be returned
before Coach K led Duke to its sixth ACC tournament title in seven
years.

In their first season in the conference, the Hokies swept the major
coaching awards - football coach Frank Beamer also won after leading
Virginia Tech to the title.

The basketball team secured an opening-round bye in the tournament by
finishing 8-8 during the regular season, a mark that included a victory
over Duke. But a quarterfinal loss to Georgia Tech ended the Hokies'
first appearance and left Greenberg disappointed with his team's play.

"I just didn't think we had the energy and the focus we needed," he
said.

Snubbed by the NCAA selection committee, Greenberg and Virginia Tech
got a bid to the NIT, and they hosted Temple later Tuesday in the first
round. Getting another home game also was a bit of a coup for the
Hokies, who surprisingly sold out every ACC game.

The attendance and persistent effort of his players were two highlights
of the season for Greenberg.

"This team was resilient," he said. "If we didn't do anything, we got
them to understand how hard they needed to play."

With a successful season behind him, Greenberg understands that
expectations likely will be much higher next year.

"I look at it like it's a sign of progress," he said. "If you're not
going forward, you're going backward. If we've raised the bar a little
bit, it's part of the process in rebuilding."

 Greenberg (and a group of 12 alumni and local businesses) also picked up
the $5 cost of the NIT tickets for 2,400 students.

What a joke. Va. Tech goes from 15-14, 7-9 to 16-14, 8-8 (against a
soft unbalanced conference schedule and a laughable non-conference
sked), and this is somehow supposed to be the coaching job of the year?


Roy wuz robbed.

Actually, that's 15-13 this year. Unbelievable. The ACC Coach of the
Year should not be one buzzer-beater away from missing the NIT.

In the writer's defense, it's a really hard year to pick a winner.
Nothing really exceptional occurred. Look at the second place
finisher -- Roy returned all his starters and a couple of bench
players and added a hyped freshman and improved several games in the
ACC, winning the conference while playing the weakest schedule.
That's nice, but in most years wouldn't seem to be COY material. Wake
did about what was expected; Duke did better than expected given their
injuries, etc., but still, 11-5 doesn't knock your socks off.

So, hell, why not Greenberg indeed? He's not that much worse than any
other option.

Agreed. Welcome VT to the league. You did way better than anybody
thought. Pat Kennedy brought FSU into the ACC with a second place - and
after that it was downhill. I hope you have a better fate. You did a
good job.

Did everybody suddenly forget Frank Haith?
Sure, Miami finsihed below Va Tech, but they started
much further down. They went from 14-16, 4-12 in the
Big East to 16-12, 7-9 in the ACC, and they had a
tougher schedule than Va Tech both in conference
and out Not bad for your first year as a head coach.

Yea, but consider that the 4-12 record was achieved in the highly
superior Big East. A record of 4-12 in the Big East is probably
equivalent to 13-3 in the ACC. By that token, Miami had a terrible
season, and Haith should probably be fired (if he hasn't been already).

Weakest? Was it? I know it was probably "weak" by Duke standards, but it
wasn't the weakest, I don't think. Weakest of the top three finishers,
sure.
That's nice, but in most years wouldn't seem to be COY material. Wake > did about what was expected; Duke did better than expected given their > injuries, etc., but still, 11-5 doesn't knock your socks off.>

I would have probably voted for K this year with Roy a close second, being
perfectly honest. Greenberg a close third. Everyone else way down, but
far above Gillen.

According to George:
Relative Schedules

Duke24-4413-23@Clem­son, FSU, NCState, @UVa
NC State28-3918-19Clem­son, @Duke, @FSU, Miami
Maryland32-3418-18@­FSU, @Ga Tech, Miami, Wake
Georgia Tech32-3418-17Maryl­and, UNC, @UVa, @Va Tech
Virginia34-3515-19@­Clemson, Duke, Ga Tech, @Miami
Miami35-3317-19@Mar­yland, @NC State, UNC, UVa
Florida St36-3222-15@Duke, Maryland, NCState, @Va Tech
Clemson37-3218-17Du­ke, @NC State, UVa, @Wake

UNC37-2918-18@Ga Tech, @Miami, Va Tech, Wake
Va Tech39-2821-14FSU, Ga Tech, @UNC, @Wake

So not THE weakest, but down there. I'm actually surprised, I didn't
remember it being so weak earlier.

It was just *barely* more difficult than Virginia
Tech's schedule, but it was 10th out of 11 schedules
in difficulty.
