This team with Tony Bennett

[CuseBlock]

Pretty easy to see that we had the more talent squad tonight. Give Tony Bennett this team and I think we’re a Top 25 team minimum

 

[shu 49]

I don’t disagree.

 

[Eric15]

I love Tony Bennett and I'm not apologizing for it. Everything about the way he approaches this sport is what I aspire for us to be. Constant ball movement, great discipline and shot selection, intense defense. And he never, ever loses his cool.

 

[Red Holzman]

I've always seen Tony Bennett as a coach I'd love to get an offer from, in my Alternative Reality.

You're nuts with all due respect. Virginia is a bunch of individual players that play as a team and have a high bb iq, we're a bunch of individual players who play individually and have low bb iqs.

A direct reflection of the coaching.

 

[Cuse12]

He runs a top shelf program. It’s seen in the way his teams play.

 

[dasher]

We would not be a top 25 team with TB coaching. We don't have a lot of answers. I like some of our younger guys and think if we can keep them together, we could get there. But not this year.

 

[orange7]

Lots of coaches would have more wins with this squad. Ours just isn’t good at making adjustments, going over the fundamentals, etc. I could go on and on but it’s late. The guy has skated by off a weak weak schedule for his career.

I don’t know about that. Scoring hasn’t really been this teams main issue. I do know we wouldn’t play full time zone, be ranked 125th in defensive efficiency, and actually run an offense at the end of close games instead of doing the same damn thing and turning it over every time.

For sure. 6 to 8 seed. Our issue isnt talent

 

[SU91]

We aren’t that talented

 

[Oakland]

His results are impressive, especially because I don't think he recruits at a high level.

Yeah, he is a good looking dude.

Yeah, he is a good looking dude.

I see what you did there….Lol!,,,

Your last sentence is very untrue. SU has had many, many very difficult conference schedules over the years and we've won several games against fantastic teams. It's fair to criticize where the program has been over the last 6 years or so, but there's no need to make up things.

 

[Fly Rodder]

A talent-less team playing pickup ball just held serve against a top 10 team. Plenty of talent on SU.

surprised Tony didn’t make an offer to Taylor & Maliq in the handshake line.

 

[AlaskaSU]

He took Washington State to the ncaa dance. Who else could do that?

 

[SU91]

I think as usual, the talent is way over estimated on this board. JB has lost it too. Not a good combo. We’re just not good. Period.

I see Matt Langel with many of the same characteristics as Tony Bennett.

Flip side: Give Tony Bennett this team and we most likely have 8 losses.

Other flip side: Give prime Coach K this team and we probably have 7 losses.

 

[Franz69]

Virginia basketball is boring. Syracuse basketball is demented and sad, but social.

 

[Grbac]

I see Matt Langel with many of the same characteristics as Tony Bennett.

I think he would be an outstanding hire for us.

 

[Zelda Zonk]

We aren’t that talented

The league isn’t that talented.

We were 3 otta four end game losses with some good teams. We are close but Jb won’t get us where a tony Bennett would.
