Virginia Tech is expected to hold a press conference at 4:00 p.m. ET that will hopefully provide more details. When asked in February, athletic director Jim Weaver said that Greenberg’s job security “was not even a topic.” The coach has since seen two assistant coaches, as well his director of basketball operations, leave for other jobs.
Greenberg compiled a 170-123 record in his nine seasons coaching the Hokies. His teams had the unfortunate reputation of just missing out on an NCAA Tournament bid on a yearly basis.
