Tony Bennett
Anthony Guy Bennett is an American former NBA basketball player and the head men's basketball coach at the University of Virginia since March 31, 2009. Bennett is one of just three former NBA players to have won the NCAA Championship as a head coach and, as of 2020, the only one who is an active NCAA coach. Bennett is also the only active coach to have won the Henry Iba Award for national coach of the year three times, and is a four-time ACC Coach of the Year. Known for coaching defensive intensity, Bennett has been ranked the top defensive coach in college basketball by ESPN Insider and a CBS Sports poll of head coaches. The style of basketball he teaches has often been compared to a boa constrictor choking out opponents, and his teams are known for their unselfish play, defense-first philosophy, and tempo control.
