Tony Bennett will surpass a famous former Wahoo with his next victory as UVA head coach.
Female readers would probably tell me it’s because of Tony Bennett’s youthful good looks, but I still find it hard to believe he’s in his seventh year at UVA. So imagine my surprise yesterday when I discovered that Bennett is about to pass former Cavalier coach Jeff Jones in wins at Virginia.
Jones coached Virginia from 1990-1998, which is around the time I discovered college basketball as a kid. He’s the second-winningest Virginia coach in the ACC era, behind only Terry Holland.
