Virginia Tech women’s basketball: Reactions to the Hokies’ hiring Megan Duffy as head coach

It’s been a tough couple of weeks for the Virginia Tech basketball program. On the men’s side, several players have entered the NCAA transfer portal, with most looking for a more significant payday elsewhere, including star guard Sean Pedulla and center Lynn Kidd.

On the women’s side, it felt even worse. Head coach Kenny Brooks departed after eight seasons, rebuilding Tech into a national power. This all came weeks after beloved legend Elizabeth Kitley’s college career ended with a torn ACL. When Brooks decided to take the Kentucky job, the Hokies would lose their coach and the two best players in program history (Kitley and Georgia Amoore).
