Translation...." This N.I.L. era ain't for me"
Respect 🤜!!
Seems like a true and genuine man. Sadly, the sport had made him want to leave.
Modern sports is making the fans want to leave also.
as a UNC alum/fan,you will be missed,many thanks for the competition over the years 😊
Agree! He was a coach in the ACC that no one disliked. He was very respected.
I would sit and listen to Tony and Jay Wright talk any day. Always have a great perspectives.
Two of my favorite NCAA coaches!
And my all time fav…Coach K
As a basketball coach’s wife for 20+ years, I am a student and fan of coaches moreso than even the sport or the teams. And Coach Bennet has long been a favorite for his authenticity, faithfulness, and simultaneous pursuit of excellence and integrity. His conclusion that he is no longer properly equipped for the job means the job has tragically fallen and become something lesser. College sports would be wise to heed this warning; long hard strategic plans are needed to protect what remains of what has historically been one of the most effective places for boys and girls to become mature and rooted men and women. I fear we will all be mourning what used to be and no longer is right alongside Coach Bennett.
You are still the best. Tony you will be missed! You are UVa basketball.
Coach thanks for the natty! Class act and great human being
Gonna miss him so much man
What a stud to the end, quoting missionary Jim Elliott. Thank you Coach!
Always seemed like an upstanding individual you’re definitely gonna be missed. College sports has become nothing but greed. No loyalty whatsoever just greed.
I am so sorry to see him l leave. He is such a good man and coach. God Bless you on your new adventures.
Lots of respect for this guy.
It’s not that he’s not the right guy. It’s that the right guys don’t wanna continue to do things the wrong way. Sad state of college athletics these days.
Handsome from day 1and still so, I am misty eyed watching this, what he did at UVA, what Holland, Jones, Guillen didn't do was finally got UVA that National Championship will be remembered for decades, God Speed Coach Bennett..
I saw Tony play in Green Bay both in high school and college. He is a true gentleman and I admired his professional demeanor on the court.
Such a sad day bc we all know who really know, this is one of the last class acts
(Non cheaters) left in big time college hoops. Met him once when he was recruiting
one of our players--just a genuine, nice guy. All my best, Coach B!
With somebody else I might be pissed at the timing as others have said but not with this guy. He must have had some real BS happen to him to break the camel’s back and bow out now. College football and basketball isn’t really that anymore. It’s just a minor league where players are in it to transfer and make money not to have a commitment to a school or a team. Granted coaches should never have started all this BS by school hopping and abandoning their players for more money leaving them in the lurch. It’s greed pure and simple. And for the people who say why shouldn’t players get a lot more of the money my response is there wouldn’t be all this money if more companies competed and broadcast or streamed these games and folks at home were charged a hell of a lot less for their cable and streaming services.
WSU Cougars: Thank you both coach Bennett’s for investing in our student athletes and Cougar Basketball!
I get it and he sounds like a great guy. However he had a commitment to these guys specially this new roster. He should have at least finished the season . Sucks for the kids that came to be coached by him. They can’t bail out like he did.
I think it's okay to be frustrated with the timing but good to appreciate what was and the fact that he built his staff in a way that there's good leadership in place. The NIL conversation is loaded though and we'll see what happens next.
He will be joining sports networks as commentator
When God closes a door, he opens another one somewhere else.
i have been a huge Carolina fan since the very early 80's .i always had a great deal of respect for Coach Bennett. he averaged 25 wins a year at Virginia. he was not getting the recruits that Duke and North Carolina were getting.his teams are hard nosed, relentless on defense and so well coached. never looked forward to playing UVA. unfortunately this is the land scape of college sports. some of the issues i agree with, but some of the issues i totally disagree with.
RICK CARLISLE - we need you back in C-ville!
So as long as the coaches, networks and schools were making money hand over fist and the players were getting used as free labor everything was fine! Weak to blame NIL. Coaches have been jumping school to school for bigger and bigger paydays for 70 years. The players are just now getting a chance to make a buck and demand fair treatment.
Did you even listen to him? Clearly not.
Many older coaches can't handle this new era of NIL deals. They were good when they were the only ones getting paid. It's simply different now regarding managing egos and temperaments.
💰 has ruined college sports!..NO kid should be getting paid playing in SCHOOL!
Can no longer exploit kids for his financial gain. Bye
To see him leave his players right before the season is dirty.
If I was a UVA fan, I would be pissed about the timing
Maybe he's pissed about what has happened to the sport he loves. It's no longer about team and competition, but about money only. If they would ever admit it, it's also the reason Coach K and Roy Williams left to.
Dean did the same thing in 1997
If you were a UVA fan, you would be grateful to have had such an outstanding individual to be proud of all these years and wish him nothing but the blessings in life he deserves
- UVA fan since 1969
@@chrisoakley5830You’re right, except that Coach K was clearly looking older and even frail at times and undoubtedly did not have the energy to keep going. Bennett is of sound body and mind. He simply cannot work in the current environment. Translation: He has always found young players who exhibit qualities he felt he could mold to fit well on his team and help them grow into that player. He would invest his and the school’s time and energy into developing these players. Now, schools just invest money in players much like professional teams. Players aren’t young men he can help to exploit their talents to the fullest any more. They are commodities to be bargained for, and that is an environment he admits he cannot thrive in. He cannot put his full heart into that and would be unfair to his team and school to stay on and “fake it”, and he knows he could not be successful if his heart was not fully in it. The man is 100% genuine, the real deal, no nonsense and no pretense and deserves respect and admiration for that.
