Virginia Tech Basketball coach Mike Young is welcoming back Chester Frazier, who will be back on his coaching staff as the associate head coach.
Frazier spent two seasons with Young, from 2019-2021, before leaving for a job at his alma mater, Illinois, where he stayed for three years before leaving ahead of the 2024-2025 season to join the staff of incoming West Virginia coach Darian DeVries.
DeVries only hung around in Morgantown for that one season, leaving to take the head coach job at Indiana.
The coaching carousel goes round-and-round.
“His passion, energy and tireless work ethic are exactly what we need,” Young said. “Chester has a deep understanding of our program’s culture, and his ability to connect with players, recruit at a high level and develop talent will be invaluable as we move forward.
“He has been a winner everywhere he has been. I am fortunate to call Chester a dear friend and am fired up to work alongside him once again,” Young said.
“I’m beyond excited to be back at Virginia Tech,” Frazier said. “This is a special place with a passionate fan base, a strong culture and a commitment to excellence. I’m looking forward to once again working with Coach Young and the entire staff to help return this program back to where it belongs.”
