Seth Greenberg of Virginia Tech fired

I guess Hollywood isn't the only place filled with passive aggressive executives. Who announces a press conference about the firing of their coach without first telling the coach? Apparently, that is how things work in Virginia Tech and their basketball coach, Seth Greenberg.

And here is a classic statement by athletic director Jim Weaver when questioned about the basketball culture, "I'm not here to throw Coach Greenberg under the bus, bottom line, so I'm going to pass on that question."  I think you just tossed the coach under the bus.

I hope Duke never treats a coach like this. Sure, sometimes you need to fire a coach, but you don't need to be passive aggressive about it.
