🏀 Tony Bennett Retires, Ron Sanchez to be Interim HC

He grew up doing it before it wasn’t against the rules lol

Look in your toilet before you flush in the morning. You’ll see him.

The opposite I think. He stayed because he may be thought he would be coach in waiting a la Scheyer and Hubert. At least my read on it

Maybe he J Willy should have landed a recruit or two or taught the bigs a post move or two if he wanted to be HC

To be fair we coulda landed Williford kids like Ven Lubin or Isaiah Abraham if we had pushed for them. And did just land Chance.

JWilly bleeds orange and blue. I’d hate to see him go and hope he stays. He was ( sorry Fresh) my favorite player when he was here. Did all the little things, hustled like hell and didn’t take crap from anyone. Maybe it’s the last thing that might keep him from the head coach job? Too passionate? He’s old school and, in my mind, would definitely have gotten the job 25 years ago, but things have changed. The question is, has JWILLY? I wouldn’t mind UVA giving him a shot.

Yeah, maybe. Maybe that’s the answer - but is that the answer? Did anyone ask?

Someone decided to pick Sanchez. Maybe we could get the 5 Ws going : who? When? Where? Why? Wahoo?

I’d push back on 4, but maybe not call it ego… I do think he thinks his pillars are worthy of prioritizing and wants that legacy to carry on, not because of himself, but because of its intrinsic value

I hope it was clear to them both well before this that Ron was “senior” associate HC. If not, this is a situation that can lead to tension and awkwardness. One guy gets to be HC this year and make a case for the permanent position, and the other guy has no chance of even being a candidate.

I know I’m more of a sh** stirrer than I probably should be, but I think that tension and awkwardness would’ve started the moment Ron was hired back as associate head coach when we already had one.

Stir it up! We’ll probably never know the truth on this one, so we have only ourselves to rely on when it comes to creating the narratives on which we feed.

Yeah obviously not intending to spread it. Just hoping someone on here has some hacking skills to find his address so I can physically mail him a bag of shit

Tbh, who gives a fuck. They’re all making lower mid six figures to play fantasy CBB. They can figure it out. Everyone guaranteed outside of the young guys will land on their feet outside of this program if it comes down to it.

Certainly Jason Willford has a track record as a coach on a championship team that will serve him well as long as he wants a job in college basketball.

Honestly thought Norlander would be the one to break any news about Bennett. Always thought they had a friendly relationship. So I was surprised that Goodman got the scoop.
