Not surprised seeing who liked this lmao. Anyway that’s fair. I’d go with that too.
UCLA going after Bennett
- Thread starter LetsGoDukies
- Start date
Yea, same Charlottesville that just had all the KKK rallies and black rallies and everybody killing everybody. Running people over with cars and everything. Yea I can’t see him wanting to leave either
I fixed it for you:
Very appealing job: prestige, the weather, a hot bed for women, talent.
That is a fair point. However I think most of those people were from out of town. Maybe LA.Yea, same Charlottesville that just had all the KKK rallies and black rallies and everybody killing everybody. Running people over with cars and everything. Yea I can’t see him wanting to leave either
Biggest question is, would he be willing to run the pick n roll?
That’s what Roy Williams does with his boogers.
Charlottesville is one of the best small college towns in the USA and in spite of all that LA offers I would stay in VA. There is no certainty that he would be successful at UCLA compared to UVA. There's also many reasons not to live in LA.

And you think LA doesn’t have stuff
I think if you're Bennett, you have to at least hear it out. While I prefer him staying at Virginia, UCLA has a lot to offer.
I wouldn't be excited about it, but if he came here and won #8, I'd get over it.
AZ always has one of the highest rated classes, but it hasn’t translated to much under Miller.
Nice, I wouldn’t be excited about anybody other than K, and not looking forward to it.
I expect Bennett will use this to get another raise or extension with UVA like a lot of coaches do. No one in their right mind is going to UCLA from a solid program like UVA.
Than I’d expect no one in their right mind at UVA to give him more money then huh lol.
That may be appealling to well-off people without kids. Tony has two kids and is the kind of guy who would be a pastor if not for basketball. I don’t know much about him really, but LA is likely not his scene. LA is for people who want to be plugged in to the fast life. Who knows, maybe his wife wants to reclaim her youth and get wild.
I think most middle class families would hate the traffic, cost and pollution.
It’s very effective. I like his defenses obviously. With 5 star guys, it would be interesting to see what he rolls out.
I agree with Ipsy about style. I think Bennett knew he couldn’t compete with the talent of schools like Duke and UNC, so he plays a style that allows him to neutralize some of that. Ironically, I think this is what costs him in the tournament, neutralizing his own talent against inferior teams. If he were at a place he could recruit elite talent, I’m not sure he would keep the same style.
True in terms of FF and NCs but I think he’s had 3 or 4 elite eight appearances and is kinda stuck where Jay Wright was for a long time. Moreso I was responding to someone saying he’ll be able to own the Pac. My response was simply there’s a lot of talent heading there in the next year or two.
UCLA is not a good job for Bennett IMO. I direct you to this article to explain why.

There’s no way that he leaves UVA for UCLA. Would be similar to Few leaving Gonzaga for UCLA. Leaving a great program now for the possibility of turning around a once great Blue Blood makes no sense.
