Congratulations to Tony Bennett for realizing that he was no longer up to the task of coaching the University of Virginia head basketball team.
Bennett, 55, won over 70 percent of his games at UVA, including the 2019 national championship. He conducted himself with professionalism and his reputation was impeccable. He has more than enough money to walk away and do what he wants.
What he doesn’t want to do, he said, is coach college ball in an environment where players are paid via name, image and likeness deals and are allowed, via the transfer portal, to transfer to any school they choose with immediate eligibility.
