Iām not surprised, but Kyle sounded exceptionally thoughtful, articulate and knowledgeable. I think heāll make a great head coach one day.
Also thought it was interesting that he said TB was in favor of players get paid, and that TB was now living his best life. Certainly seems just from watching Tony at Virginia games last year that he seemed much more relaxed and happy.
TB always said that he was in favor of the players getting paid, but said that his issues were with the lack of a structure governing the payment, the issues that the transfer portal created , and the lack of mental health support that these young kids were going to need now that the model has turned professional.
Wasnāt sure where to put thisā¦
Certainly can see what Kyle meant on the podcast when he said Tony was āliving his best life.ā He looks pretty damned happy.
Tony going to Greece next month with Ritchie and Stelly

You gotta stay at the greenbrier to go to this? Anyone know?
I donāt think its a requirement, but they will usually offer ticket+room packages with the hosting resort that are a good enough deal that it makes sense to.
Anyone heard if KG is still organizing a team for TBT?
Yeah jpj is a host site
I knew they were a host site just wasnāt sure still with all the shakeup around UVA if KG was still planning to field a team
Doubtful
According to the TBT website, thereās a Virginia alum team confirmed. One of six in the regional.
I did see that earlier before asking, thanks. With the start not being till July 18th though and with everything thatās been happening, I wasnāt sure if anyone here knew or heard anything different.
Whaaat? Damn man. Feels like itād be a great transition thing between the regimes. Could see it being just logistically tough based in Nevada.
KG needs to put his best foot forward out in Reno. UVA could likely find and field a team anyway but I donāt think it would be the more well known alums. If they donāt cobble one together, it also doesnāt make a whole mess of sense to host.
Perrantes Devon hall and Akil can run it. It would be such the perfect Segway from the Bennett era to the Odom era.
Had heard there were some schedule conflicts with a bunch of guys but didnāt really catch specifics.
Someone call Grant Kersey
Ever been there? Thatās all there isā¦
