The 'Hoos have beaten me down. Hope he's better than Gillen. Won't be hard.

It's a bad program. Oughta be pretty good with a new house playing in the ACC, but it's not.

Without knowing of any facility improvements or any other selling points they may have for recruiting, it's going to be hard for them to jump into the upper echelon in the ACC. Having said that, Tony Bennett is a fantastic coach. He brought his Wash St team to Baton Rouge early this year and you could just tell the way they played the game that they were well coached. The offensive schemes and the way the entire team moved without the ball was impressive.

Great Hire.

Bennett knows how to coach. He gets his players to play very hard.

Bennett's style may be a little different for the ACC, but he will win if he can recruit to UVA.

Bennett s/b on anyone's short list of up and coming coaches. There is a lot of upside potential to this hire.

Leitao also had 2 very good players coming in as recruits which well help. Not to mention Rich McKay will be one of the top assistants in all of College Basketball.

I think you will be pleasantly surprised with Bennett. Number one, your about to see your team be transformed into one of the best defensive teams in the country. Now, the pace of play will drive you crazy, but it will also drive your opponents crazy. I'm interested to see who can bring in recruiting wise, if he could recruit ANYONE to Pullman, Washington he should do a decent job in Charlottesville.
