Coach Bill Courtney
Virginia Tech men’s basketball coach Seth Greenberg hired former virginia assistant Bill Courtney last week to fill the vacancy left by Stacey Palmore, who left to be an assistant with georgia. Courtney was an assistant at virginia for the past three seasons, but left after Dave Leito was fired. He took an assistant job with virginia commonwealth and had been there two months before Greenberg came calling.
Courtney is apparently a top notch recruiter, responsible for signing the core of the george mason Final Four team in 2006. He also recruited uva’s Sylven Landesberg, who was named the 2008-2009 ACC rookie of the year. He has strong ties to the Baltimore – D.C. corridor where a ton of talented players are recruited every year. Perhaps that will pay off soon. One thing is clear, Courtney is by far the best recruiter Greenberg has hired in his six year at Tech.

:Multiple published reports have included Greenberg as among the possible candidates for the USC job, which opened up after Tim Floyd resigned last week amid allegations that he gave money to a person representing star player O.J. Mayo. Greenberg, who once coached at Long Beach State, has connections in the Southern California area and has a clean résumé and reputation. Both would likely be welcomed by USC, but Greenberg was resolute about remaining at Virginia Tech, where he said he is happy and committed.”
