Babcock had this to say on the departure of Wolff, “I want to thank Coach Wolff for his perseverance and hard work for our university and our basketball program over the past five years,” Babcock said. “We appreciate the foundation that Coach Wolff and his staff have built at Virginia Tech.

While the search starts, Babcock said the team and university leadership will be kept informed about the process of bringing in a new coach.
