New UVA coach keeps recruits
After accepting the Virginia men's basketball coaching position almost two months ago, Tony Bennett outlined three goals he needed to accomplish immediately, the coaching version of an agenda for the first 100 days in office. Bennett succeeded with each goal. He hired a staff that includes former Liberty coach Ritchie McKay and former American assistant Jason Williford, a U-Va. alumnus. He kept recruits Tristan Spurlock (Word of Life) and Jontel Evans from fleeing elsewhere. And he used a collection of spring practices and off-the-court icebreakers to learn the team.

UVA fans are going to LOVE Bennett. He did great things at Washington State and turned them into a terror of a team. I always liked him.
