Tony Bennett's Final Bow at UVA

After dedicating 15 memorable seasons to the University of Virginia, Tony Bennett, the longstanding head basketball coach, has decided to hang up his whistle. The announcement is scheduled for Friday, October 18, at 11 a. m. , to be held at John Paul Jones Arena. Bennett's time at Virginia has been nothing short of extraordinary. He guided the Cavaliers to their first-ever NCAA Championship in 2019, secured multiple ACC titles, and made 12 appearances in the NCAA tournament. His impressive win-loss record of 364-136 at Virginia speaks volumes about his coaching mastery. Before arriving in Virginia, Bennett spent three seasons at Washington State. There, he also made a significant impact, compiling a 69-33 record and earning two NCAA tournament invitations. Fans can watch the live stream of his retirement announcement on Facebook.
