MarkInAustin Posted October 17 Share Posted October 17 (edited) Intentionally coaching basketball to be played at a very slow pace is unhealthy, obviously. Seriously, I hope he is OK. Edited October 17 by MarkInAustin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nick p Posted October 18 Share Posted October 18 When quality coaches like Tony Bennett and others are getting out of college athletics 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WG Carter Posted October 18 Share Posted October 18 Tony Bennett at UVA won 6 regular season ACC titles, at one point won 10 games in a row from UNC, held Pitt to 7 points in one half , won a National Championship and was 2x National Coach of the Year. When he was at Washington State for a few years he won at a school that has almost high school facilities. He got his teams there to a 3rd and 4th seed and was named National Coach of the Year , at WSU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand it from his perspective at UVA Bennett knew he wanted to do this in early summer, but he also felt like he could maybe stick it out a bit longer. He hired his friend Sanchez and then tried to see if he could keep going. He couldn't. He's tired of the grind. He wants more time with his family in the non-Urban Meyer way. He knew this a few weeks ago. He waited and timed it up so UVA has to promote Sanchez. Nice and tidy. Bennett's a great dude. I am jealous of him.
