“I want to thank Coach Johnson for his dedication and hard work for our university and our basketball program over the past seven years,” Director of Athletics Whit Babcock said. “A change of this significance affects many people and is never taken lightly, but I felt a change and a new direction was necessary for the long term, best interest of our department.” Johnson left the team in 2012 to take an assistant coaching position at Clemson, but returned to Blacksburg weeks later to take the head coaching position left by Seth Greenberg....
