šŸ€ 2024/25 Virginia Men's Hoops In-Season Thread

Sounds like it. Was posted in another thread. 7 players looking for 250,000 they say was promised …

Brad Brownell and Keats about to be the longest tenured coaches in the ACC.

Little bit of info around Dante’s transfer:

Harris was invited to rejoin the Hoos as an active player but chose to transfer this month to Memphis, for which he made debut Saturday.

That makes sense on both ends (why we would invite, and why Dante would say no thanks).

I would love to read any notes on the team from Dick B:

Sanchez talks regularly with Tony Bennett, and Dick Bennett stopped by a recent practice at JPJ with his son and spoke to the team.

ā€œDick has watched several games and has written text messages with suggestions and thoughts and notes, and I love that,ā€ Sanchez aid. ā€œI’m so fortunate to have both him and Tony sharing their messages.ā€

I wonder if he gets less stressed out watching UVA now that Tony isn’t coaching.

Tonight show with Zay.
Best part of his day is practice where he gets to go simply play and nobody tells him what shots he’s allowed to take on green team.
He doesn’t talk trash first, but he’ll give it back if someone gives it to him.
Same starters again tomorrow. Ames, IMac, Sahara, Saunders, Cofie
How to stay out of early foul trouble discussion…. Blah blah - should have said start Blake so Cofie won’t get fouls early.
New Year’s resolutions: to keep the big guys out of our trouble and to match the first half defensive performances in the second half of games.
Isaac has to shoot more
The radio crew has been yelling for them to shoot the ball and he asked about what the coaches think.
He mentioned the 10 Murray possession where he passed up the corner wide open three, and it ended up in a brick by Blake.
Apparently, Sanchez is very frustrated by their lack of willingness to shoot open shots as well.
Arob - size and athleticism mentioned by fan. Why doesn’t he get more run? He said based on matchups he will get more minutes.
NC State: old experienced and strong

I don’t believe you, Ron.

I do. Tony wired and taught guys to play conservative more. Ron, does a mixture it seems. I just wish he’d fine his own identity and try not to sound like TB

Similarly, Coach Mox has said she’s frustrated with her team’s poor ball security. I believe both coaches. But the problems that frustrate them are a natural outgrowth of the coaches’ preferred playstyle & general philosophy.

Eff Marbly mouth. All of a sudden he cares about the UVA program and wants a story for his site. Meanwhile during Tony’s entire existence he was bashing our program.

Goodman is super annoying, no doubt, but I don’t think he really dislikes or likes us.

He tries to rile up fan bases because riling up fanbases is a good way for him to get people to pay attention to what he’s doing.

(To your point - he doesn’t care about us. He never did!)

Kinda silly … he cares about Arizona.
He covers everyone else.
So what.
Best interview all season with actual content.
10x the content of all coachs corners combined.
