Tony Bennett's built a contender at Virginia in an unconventional way

Posted Dec 31, 2014
In a league with four Hall of Fame coaches and five of the past 12 national champs, how did Tony Bennett build an ACC power at a school that hadn't been to a single Sweet Sixteen since 1995 before he took Virginia to the Sweet Sixteen last season? And, more to the point, how'd he do it without a collection of top-50 prospects and preordained pros? "We've built through experience," Bennett said. "There's a level of simplicity to it."
