"Well I'm very happy and pleased for Brad," said Virginia Tech athletic director Jim Weaver. "He aspired to be a head coach and it just so happens that he'll be able to do it. He's not going to have to move his family and unseat his children in school, and that's a positive."
Greenberg's departure was also met with some regret.
"On the other hand, I'm sorry to see him go because I think he's done an outstanding job since he's been here as the associate head coach," Weaver said. "I think our basketball program has taken on new heights under Seth Greenberg's leadership and Brad made a strong contribution to our program."
With Greenberg gone, the Hokies will begin looking for his replacement. The Virginia Tech men's basketball program will advertise the opening and begin a standard hiring process, Weaver said.
It is not known at this time whether or not any other coaches or staff will join Greenberg at Radford.
Before coming to Tech, Greenberg had spent more than 25 years at a variety of positions in both college and the pros. Greenberg's NBA career culminated in a position as the general manger and vice president of basketball operations with the Philadelphia 76ers in 1996 and 1997. Greenberg also spent time with the Portland Trail Blazers, New York Knicks and Los Angeles Clippers. Before making the leap to the NBA, Greenberg had been an assistant coach at St. Joseph's and his alma mater American University.
Radford was 8-22 and finished seventh in the Big South conference last season. The Hokies and Highlanders last faced off two years ago, with Tech taking the game 80-50.
