I wanted him 9 years ago.Really want him now.My favorite candidate.I dont buy into all that lack of offense crap.He coaches to his teams strength and the oppositions weaknesses.Absolutely owns Pitino and has put Virginia in the upper tier of the ACC.Relentless defense.I dont give a **** about how many points are scored and all that playing downhill garbage.Give me some fundamental basketball.

Heard a stat during their game today that Bennett's UVA teams are something like 96-6 when they score 70+ points in a game. Imagine winning games with defense. His offenses are often ranked really high in efficiency, so it's more of a pace issue, not how good they actually are on offense.

Real question: if we do get Bennett are we even getting the better Bo Ryan assistant ? Gard is inexperienced and unproven but I'm sure there is a reason Bo basically gave him the job. Maybe I'm look into it too deep

Bennett was an assistant for Ryan for a couple seasons before joining his father at Washington St.  Bennett was also brought to Wisconsin by his father, so it's not like he's Ryan's "guy". Gard was Ryan's longest tenured assistant, having coached with him for 23 years. 

Seems Gard's appointment has nothing to do with any referendum on Bennett.

He is my preference for sure. His guys play with such control and discipline. I am no puritan, but I appreciate the no swearing policy in his program, not so much for what it prevents, but for what it instills. Such a requirement forces these young men to develop mastery over their mouths. It's directly related to teaching them control on the floor.
