Virginia under Bennett is what I’d point to. I don’t think they ever had more gifted defenders than most of the offensive talent they faced in the ACC. They were never known for having particularly gifted athletes. But his defense consistently shut teams down.
… because he usually redshirted most of his croots, so by the time they were on the floor regularly, they already had multiple years playing in his D system.
That’s completely infeasible and a nonstarter in today’s portal era.
Which is prolly a bigly part of why he chose to hang em up.
