How much more time on the Hokies' bench does former JMU women's head basketball coach and and men's PG Kenny Brooks have? Once again, his VT team started out on fire in non-conference play. And once again, they're laying an egg in the ACC season. They're 0-3 in the conference and the next two games don't look promising--#1 Notre Dame in Blacksburg and then on the road at #8 NC State. An 0-5 ACC start is very possible.

Kenny's not performing any worse than his predecessors--a little better, actually--but he's not performing well, especially relative to the men's team. I always liked Kenny from his playing days at JMU. He was humble, hard-working and capable. I ran across him at a barbecue joint last summer in Christiansburg with his wife and daughter, wished him well and got a quick picture.

I hope he can turn things around.
