CHARLOTTE, NC – Virginia head coach Tony Elliott walked into the ACC Kickoff Thursday sporting a colorful yet meaningful pair of shoes. He was all smiles and it's obvious he’s where he’s supposed to be, and it’s even more obvious that his new players love him.
Now he’s ready to build a model program in Charlottesville.
Elliott was hired at Virginia last December, but the call from the Cavaliers wasn’t his first opportunity. He’s had other job offers but he was waiting on the right fit.
“I think you've followed my career, and we've had a very good relationship over the years, and we went through this starting in 2015 every year with the calls coming and the opportunities,” Elliott told TigerNet.
