Tony Bennett takes Virginia Basketball Job

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

Tony Bennett is moving from the PAC 10 to the ACC. He should be able to make some headlines there if he can dethrone UNC and Duke. Best of luck Tony. The first reader reactions are not very positive from the VA fans......

He's like the anti-ACC coach... my god those people are going to hate him. Maybe he'll play up and down, but I highly doubt it, this will be interesting. I bet he wins some big games though, taking those teams out of their rhythm.

That pretty much sums up my initial thoughts as well. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif Thrilled to see him get a big-ish job and finally bring some Bennett-ball to the ACC.

This ought to bring on a Wisconsin-UVA matchup in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge...hopefully in the Kohl Center.

Wow, really surprised to see this. Probably a good move for him in terms of prestige, but the Wazzu fans seemed to love him... plus there was that whole 'we let your dad give you his coaching job' clause in Dick's contract while at WSU. Surprising move imo.

[Glennron]

That does seem pretty surprising. I guess maybe there goes my hope of him eventually ending up at Wisconsin, but who knows.

The ACC is such a high scoring league....vegas will not like to put a over/under on his games in this league.

It would be very amusing if Tony would decide to run the "blocker-mover."

...and finally bring some Bennett-ball to the ACC.

Ugh. I love up-tempo college hoops and don't want to see that style of play in a run-and-gun conference. He should've come to the Big Ten, he'd fit right in.

Don't knock the blocker-mover!

Neither will the rest of the ACC..... exactly what should make it very entertaining.
