Okay, so Gary Williams isn’t the only ACC coach on Twitter. And Virginia Tech’s Seth Greenberg — The “Head Hokie” — is currently leaps and bounds ahead of the Head Terp in the humble estimation of this Twitter addict.
For the most part, Gary’s tweets have read like a micro-press release or reluctant interaction. Not much enthusiasm save a few exclamation points or a plug for his camp. Hardly organic. Borderline worthwhile.
In the opposite corner we have Mr. Greenberg. And sure, he’s pimping his camps and even tweeted a fairly shameless US Cellular plug. I can live with that because he’s also delivering personality and insight.
If a celebrity (and we follow these guys because that’s what they are) won’t divulge any unique opinions or observations then it becomes fruitless to track their account. Sorry, let me get to the point.
Today, while Gary was busy spouting off about yet another more motivational quote, Greenberg was clowning Joe Lunardi’s latest Bracketology prognostication:
Really upset we didn’t make Joe Lunardi’s bracket! Not!i would rather earn our way into the dance, then make it in June!
Now there’s some personality. There’s some Chutzpah! Although I still want to know who is advising these coaches to load up on the exclamations.
For now, Greenberg is the class of the ACC in terms of basketball coach Twitter accounts. Hopefully Gary steps his game up —at least Williams has more followers (1,644-1,123).
Or perhaps Coach K will blow them all out the water. “Watching my state farm commercial on youtube. That coach J bit still make me ROFL!”
If only.
