Tony Bennett coaching


Mar 13, 2019, 7:06 PM

Took over in 2009 (Brownell took over 2010). Prior to that uva had been to the big dance twice since 1998 and had only had 3 above .500 conference records since 1995. His first season at uva he went 15-16 (5-11) 9th in conference. He has steady improved that record every year to become one of the best teams in the country. What does uva have that Clemson doesn't or is it coaching. I bet it's coaching.

I have family that were in fundraising there. They built JPJ arena in 2006 and the price tag was outrageous. Paid off I guess.

Yeah, after the soccer well dried up, they had to find a place to invest. Basketball it was and that was a smart move at the time.


Meanwhile, tell me how UVA football is doing? Beat the coots by 28? Well we do that all the time.

Tony Bennett already a sweet-16 coach. He was basically at the less than "Clemson level" program of the Pac 12: Washington State. 6 total Tourney Bids, One modern Sweet Sixteen (under Bennett) and their last "regular season" championship was 1941. Sound familiar? Truthfully, if it wasn't the "runner up" in the '41 tournament using pre-war wooden basketball, Clemson would be the far better program (and we are)

What did Wassu do? Cut his funding.

If Clemson wanted to go out an get a Bennett, then how many sweet-16 coaches are dealing with a lack/funding?

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Money, facilities, tradition, location, actual fan support?


Mar 14, 2019, 4:03 PM

Spare me the "If we win, they will come" myth, that was debunked LAST YEAR when we had a Sweet 16 team and LJ was a morgue, and it only got worse this year, although the fact that all our weekend ACC games(except UNC) were nooners and all our weeknight ACC games were 9pmers...And don't try to use the fraudulent attendance numbers Clemson was posting, I was there and we were not pulling in half that at 9pm
