He’s had 2 head coaching jobs in his career.

How is that moving around with the best of them. He coached for 3 years at WSU and the rest of his career at uva. I feel like he would be in the bottom 1% for moving around jobs for pretty much any profession in the world. He’s allowed to just not enjoy the state of the sport. He’s allowed to believe it’s not in a good place. It doesn’t mean it’s the only reason he’s leaving, but he said it’s a contributing factor. There is not way that anyone looks at college sports right now and thinks it’s super healthy. I don’t think anyone is totally in the wrong outside of the NCAA themselves. I believe you should have some kind of limit on transfers but also some type of limit on coaches in terms of constantly changing schools/jobs. I don’t know how you pull it off, but I think going to a system of 3 year contracts would be better. Just like a rookie deal. I think basketball as a product is better when teams play together more. Over time that is proven true in almost all sports. I would rather see teams with salary caps and singing a high school player for 3 years and knowing a team and fan base has more continuity. I think in the long run that keeps the interest higher. I believe the more invested a fan base is in seeing the group grow and win over multiple the more likely they are to spend money to support that team

You are so off base with this comment.
RCush13 10/18/24 07:59 PM ET
This is a helluva stance to take then
GCHokie34 10/18/24 08:02 PM ET
He said the changes have just drained him.

do you have a crush on Bennett?
Scream_On_D 10/19/24 12:29 AM ET
I can assure you you don't need to explain the coaching schedule...
GCHokie34 10/18/24 08:24 PM ET
Why do you have such an axe to grind with Bennett?
RCush13 10/18/24 08:35 PM ET
I have had no problem with TB up until all of this...
GCHokie34 10/18/24 08:42 PM ET

When TB took the UVA job, it was his 4th school/team in 11 years
GCHokie34 10/18/24 09:08 PM ET
You are trying to count his player/coach role in New Zealand pro ball?
RCush13 10/18/24 09:18 PM ET
That is jumping at every opportunity to advance his career
GCHokie34 10/18/24 09:28 PM ET

? no idea what this means, but I'm glad the Hoo quitter & cry baby is gone
Scream_On_D 10/19/24 12:37 AM ET
Furthest thing from the truth.

It figures a Hoo would applaud someone quitting for being hurt and drained!
Scream_On_D 10/19/24 01:04 AM ET
Didn't he decline a pay raise?

But do you know his perspective??**
ancient alien 2018 10/18/24 06:52 PM ET
That’s completely off what he said.
wahoo2023 10/18/24 03:01 PM ET
But he's not advocating for guard rails on coach's salaries, thus 2-faced!
Scream_On_D 10/19/24 01:11 AM ET
it all starts with the schools giving up part of the actual pie. Hopefully

He was super humble. Basically it was a man saying your heart has to be 100
hokiehowl 10/18/24 11:42 AM ET
I think he has such high standards for himself, and in the current climate
