I wonder if Tony has ever been approached by the pros? Is that defense the thing that keeps him out of the mix?
Nothing incites bodily violence quicker than a Duke fan turning in your direction and saying 'scoreboard.'
In my economic observations of the world of head basketball coaches, his job at Virginia is superior to almost any NBA job:
(a) He can make a ton of money, viz. Coach K.
(b) Unlike almost every coach in the NBA, he ain't gonna be fired, so the money stream can be viewed as a lengthy annuity, not just an annual salary plus bonus plus other income.
(c) He doesn't have a basketball boss, whereas in the NBA he would have a GM, a team president and an owner -- which affects point (b).
(d) Unless there is a family preference to be elsewhere (big city, and so forth), he has no reason to leave Charlottesville, where he is far more than a minor deity, as opposed to being just another coach in an NBA city.
I suppose the major negative of college coaching is the need to recruit. He seems comfortable with recruiting HS players, but I haven't heard much about his feelings for the recruitment trail.

'When I got on the bus for my first road game at Duke, I saw that every player was carrying textbooks or laptops. I coached in the SEC for 25 years, and I had never seen that before, not even once.' - David Cutcliffe to Duke alumni in Washington, DC, June 2013
Has been called for 5 fouls the entire game...

Dammit Cincy.
Meanwhile Oklahoma is absolutely shredding Ole Miss.
Virginia game is underway - good luck to all our resident Wahoos!

UVA looking tight.
At the Under 12 media timeout, Gardner Webb 17 - Virginia 10. The Cavaliers have committed 6 turnovers already. I suspect cuticles are starting to bleed in Charlottesville.

Good luck to the resident Wahoos is right!
But oh boy, need to turn it up, boys.

I think uva will win.
Not exactly the start UVA was hoping for
10 minutes in and Gardner-Webb on Pace for 88 points against UVA defense?
What on earth is going on?
(W)hoo boy, not a good look for UVA to start. ACC is NOT putting on a good show so far...
What would be the repercussions of a #1 seed UVA losing to a #16 seed 2 years in a row?
Could Bennet stay on as coach? Would it break him? Would he quit coaching?
Not saying it will happen, but my goodness.
UVA's defense isn't bad.
Gardner Webb is hitting Everything.
Amazing.
But very early.
This UVA team is a machine and if they can keep their composure and play their game, their system should annihilate Gardner Webb after this shooting cools off.
UVA looks so tight! GW killing the middle of the UVA defense.
