In many ways, Tony Bennett is a traditionalist coach. Virginia’s offensive system, sides, has been consistently deployed throughout his tenure with brief occasional detours to account for exceptionally talented rosters. Bennett’s defensive scheme, the pack line, has been his system since he took over at Washington State during the Bush administration — and was his father’s system at Green Bay during the otherBush administration. As the game has changed (when Dick Bennett first implemented the pack line in Division I at Green Bay, the NBA hadn’t even adopted the three-point shot), Tony Bennett’s system remains mostly the same.
