Tony Bennett Retiring (effective immediately)

first Jay Wright now TB, who's next?

Whoever it will be, I think it will be coaches who are middle aged or older who have plenty of $ in their bank account from past contracts and feel like they have already accomplished the most they think they ever will or hit their peak in the past.

If he waited until now to prevent a mass player exodus, then shame on him.

The folks who want to shrug this off as something other than a bad sign for the future of college basketball will find a way to do so, but the trend is growing harder to ignore.

Say what you want about Virginia, because I know it hasn't been the most aesthetically pleasing brand of basketball, especially lately. But under Bennett it was one of the few remaining power programs in the sport that sold something other than NIL and NBA dreams. Its style was unique and made college basketball what it is.

Health or scandal, one would think.

Scandal doesn't usually result in retirement.

He retired in May but due to his slow pace the announcement just now came out
