Danny Hurley’s Approach
“Their son has to work harder, he has to do more, he has to earn his role. We’ve got a real old school culture here of accountability. The expectations of effort. The focus on winning and we over me”

“We should talk louder, nobody cares if you’re corny or not, we’re trying to win” - Jalen Brunson
A lot of young hoopers that are trying to be cool should listen to this message
COMMITTED: Virginia Tech landed its first transfer commitment of the cycle from Oklahoma F transfer Kuol Atak who averaged 7.0 points and shot 41.3% from three-point range on over 4 threes per game in 2025-26. Check out more on him and the #Hokies here: techlunchpail.com/blog/oklah…
Oklahoma transfer Kuol Atak has committed to Virginia Tech, per Ross Aroyo of @PrioritySports.

take notes - It’s not “Bag Work”
A lot of coaches complain about teams running zone. It’s apart of the game even at even the highest level. So called “lazy” defense. Zones will test your basketball IQ!
Erik Spoelstra on why the 2-3 zone is more involved:
"I don't know. It's hard. Sometimes I hate it because there's not always definitive accountability. Some players think the zone will bail them out or they don't have to work as hard. That couldn't be further from the truth. You actually burn more calories in the zone than in man-to-man."

Did Kuol Atak (@kuol_atak) just have the most impressive heat check of the season?
The 6’9” freshman was more than ready to light it up when he checked in against Georgia — drilling 6/7 from three to help Oklahoma cruise to a dominant win.
With more experience combined with his touch and size, he could develop into one of the best shooters in the NCAA.
