He turned down a 500k raise to give to coaching staff.

Talk is he would likely renew at current number but doesn’t want a raise. Instrumental in allowing for assistants to stay, smaller facilities to be upgraded, etc.

It can be done in Blacksburg, Tony Bennett 3-time NCOTY and no 5-star
Hacker • 02/06/24 10:23 AM ET
They didn't win the Natty. Refs gifted it
Jethro Tull • 02/06/24 03:52 PM ET
And Ian Anderson and Jennie Franks did NOT write Aqualung...LOL**
hoosdamayun • 02/07/24 08:54 AM ET
We would kill for one we “don’t deserve”. Hard for me to diminish theirs. **
VT One • 02/06/24 10:56 PM ET
Hoos NC was a “fluke”
NC Hoke • 02/06/24 06:05 PM ET
They lose that semifinal if the double dribble is correctly called
Jethro Tull • 02/06/24 06:11 PM ET
You are correct.
balzhoo • 02/06/24 06:18 PM ET
111Balz, is that you? **
ombandit • 02/06/24 08:39 PM ET
Negative. I assume 111balz is not a friendly poster?**
balzhoo • 02/07/24 07:10 AM ET
Tugging a jersey (basically it is a hand check) is not considered a foul
Jethro Tull • 02/06/24 08:08 PM ET
Lol.
wahoo2023 • 02/07/24 12:33 AM ET
Watch the replay of the game. UVA did it 3 times and no call
Jethro Tull • 02/07/24 07:26 AM ET
It was a clear foul that caused the DD just like the clear uncalled travel.
neworleanshoo • 02/06/24 11:37 PM ET
It did not impede the progress of the dribbler. UVA was gifted a Natty
Jethro Tull • 02/07/24 07:30 AM ET
Did not impede.
Babyhook03 • 02/07/24 02:25 PM ET
Hold that and take it to your grave. Virginia basketball did NOT win
hoosdamayun • 02/07/24 08:53 AM ET
Correct
Babyhook03 • 02/06/24 06:42 PM ET
Yep.**
HokieHeartNSoul • 02/06/24 05:35 PM ET
Also no beach, nightclubs, or big city! Spokane, Washington too! **
HooWorldOrder • 02/06/24 01:17 PM ET
That's impossible. We all know you can't win without
Pride_and_Joy • 02/06/24 02:54 PM ET
Scorpions had it right!**
HooWorldOrder • 02/06/24 02:55 PM ET
In a certain sense UVA fans and VT fans hoops wise have high expectations
OrlandoHokie • 02/06/24 01:03 PM ET
UVA has kind of owned the ACC over the last decade though even though
bodiegrace99 • 02/06/24 05:35 PM ET
Yep, that's very true.**
Chris ColemanAdmin • 02/06/24 01:41 PM ET
Worth browsing this list of ACCT repeats
WildTurkE • 02/06/24 01:26 PM ET
I don’t know how NC State fans survive fball and bball every year
HokieAl • 02/06/24 03:40 PM ET
If we had Tony Bennett coaching us many of our posters would still complain
HokieBrazil • 02/06/24 11:53 AM ET
Heck, UVA fans still complain **
HokiesACC2004 • 02/06/24 07:23 PM ET
Bennett Ball is the rough college hoops equivalent of Frank Beamer Football**
Tuckahokie • 02/06/24 06:22 PM ET
No one believes that for a minute**
bodiegrace99 • 02/06/24 05:37 PM ET
I wouldn't attend or watch VT games if Tony Bennett coached
HokieObsession • 02/06/24 02:25 PM ET
All he does is win. I enjoy winning. Enough said. **
BackInTheBurg • 02/07/24 01:03 PM ET
To each their own.
Pride_and_Joy • 02/06/24 02:46 PM ET
I've always disliked his style of play but I lost respect for him

It’s not the job of a tv analyst to

Speaking of Cory Alexander
WildTurkE • 02/06/24 03:16 PM ET
I’m completely with you on Corey. Great personality and great voice. **
IV_Hokie12 • 02/07/24 10:08 AM ET
So…Cory got his first Porsche right after he got to Grounds (pre NIL era)
st_andrew • 02/07/24 10:06 AM ET
Did you hear what he said during the VT-Miami game?
Chris ColemanAdmin • 02/07/24 10:03 AM ET
I heard that and thought he misspoke.**
Nortazhokie • 02/07/24 10:17 AM ET
We’ve kinda stolen Corey from them. For better or worse. **
st_andrew • 02/07/24 10:07 AM ET
If he's owned ten of them, he really should know how it's pronounced. LOL**
Pride_and_Joy • 02/06/24 06:12 PM ET
Yeah, that's kind of the problem.
Pride_and_Joy • 02/06/24 01:07 PM ET
TB actually caught low heat on hoo-board earlier this year or last...
VT757to276 • 02/06/24 12:41 PM ET
Yes he did **
HokiesACC2004 • 02/06/24 07:23 PM ET
Losing to No. 13 seed Furman in the first round doesn't help
WildTurkE • 02/06/24 12:59 PM ET
Bennett's first four years at UVA...
Chris ColemanAdmin • 02/06/24 12:06 PM ET
it helps when you recruit 3 NBA level players in one class. one being #7
VT Pez4Life • 02/07/24 08:42 AM ET
I think one of the big things Bennett had in his 5th year
wahoo2023 • 02/06/24 03:26 PM ET
Tony has 8 ACC titles now and of course, the national championship
HooWorldOrder • 02/06/24 01:31 PM ET
*2 ACC Titles
GretnaHokie • 02/06/24 02:06 PM ET
In 1990 the ACC started recognizing both regular season and
RCush13 • 02/06/24 02:36 PM ET
Look in the rafters and in the trophy cases around the ACC
HooWorldOrder • 02/06/24 02:17 PM ET
"Since July 1, 1961
GretnaHokie • 02/06/24 02:20 PM ET
ACC recognizes both, hence the trophies and banners
HooWorldOrder • 02/06/24 02:23 PM ET
This reminds me of Bama football fans who claim they have
Pride_and_Joy • 02/06/24 02:47 PM ET
You realize the ACC provides those championship trophies, right? **
HooWorldOrder • 02/06/24 02:54 PM ET
Yeah dude. It's a joke.**
Pride_and_Joy • 02/06/24 02:56 PM ET
Oh no, I'm not saying he's going to have that kind of success.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 02/06/24 01:35 PM ET
Yes, Young has done quite well all things considered
HooWorldOrder • 02/06/24 01:37 PM ET
Agree,we beat USC,FSU and Miami at least once with Rice.Heck,we beat Miami
HokieBrazil • 02/06/24 12:22 PM ET
Nit pick but it was an ACC title. We are the only recognized champion for
Femoyer Hokie • 02/06/24 12:10 PM ET
they had a loaded roster for 2019
VermontDDS • 02/06/24 11:08 AM ET
Yep, and you left out Hunter, he was their best recruit & a lottery pick...
BROman Hokie • 02/06/24 03:11 PM ET
Better recruiting + better retention = more success
Pride_and_Joy • 02/06/24 01:08 PM ET
And experienced. Most of That group had been together a while**

Who's going to back the Brinks truck up to Bennett's house?
Maroon Baboon • 02/06/24 10:54 AM ET
UVA already tried to back up the Brinks truck. I think the story is more
