Virginia Tech hoops head coach Mike Young will have at least one more season to try to right the ship. Young was entering the final year of his contract this season, but he signed a one-year extension at the end of July. Young was one of several Hokies head coaches extended along with women's basketball head coach Megan Duffy, swim and dive coach Sergio Lopez Miro, men's soccer head coach Mike Brizendine and softball head coach Pete D'Amour.
#hokies giving Mike Young 1-year contract extension. So he is no longer entering final year of his contract. Now under contract through 2027-28 season. Extensions also for Duffy, D’Amour, Brizendine, Lopez Miro. Pay hike for Robie, whose deal had been extended in Jan.

With the extension, Young will make $3 million this year and in 2027-28. According to Thomas Hughes of Virginia Tech Hokies on SI, Young will receive a $2 million buyout if he is fired on or before next March 15, and $1 million if axed before March 15, 2028.
Young, who took over for Buzz Williams when he left for Texas A&M in 2019, led the Hokies to two NCAA Tournaments in his first three seasons. But the Hokies haven't been back since and haven't posted a winning record in ACC play the last four seasons. He is 124-98 in seven seasons with the Hokies, though just 60-70 in conference play.
