Ricky never had a fair chance at Tech. What would Stokes' record have been had he been given the budget and stable conference situation available to Seth? Terry Holland, who had both on his Hoo staff, thinks it would be about the same. Even with the handicaps, Stokes still brought in two players who anchored the only NCAA team Seth has produced at Tech. The comparisons with Stokes are not valid.

Seth is a big step up from Allen, Hussey and Stokes.  He also has had a lot more success in his first six years than someone named Frank who went 2-9, 3-8, 6-4-1, 6-5, 5-6,  and 2-8-1.  That's 24-40-2 if my math is any good.  Seth is 130 and 92.  I'd say he's doing ok considering the miserable condition he inherited.  We can play with anyone in the ACC and beat them and that after 6 years isn't too bad in my book.
