A Bargin At 1.7mil

Bob Dukiet was a great defensive coach, too, at St. Peter's in the MAAC. Bennett would get his butt kicked regularly in the BE. Would he hold teams to 70 points? Maybe the bottom teams. Would we score 45 to 50? Absolutely. What is the love affair here? If we hire Bennett, we wind up with five Wisconsin farm kids who dribble with two hands.

From Fox's Jeff Goodman - This appeared below his positive article on Darius Johnson-Odom verballing MU.

My sources were incorrect in that Dan Parker & Associates handled the Virginia search - which landed Tony Bennett.

Parker still did hire Billy Gillispie at Kentucky and Kelvin Sampson at Virginia - and his search firm has been hired to find a coach at Georgia.

Now the blame for hiring Bennett is squarely on Virginia AD Craig Littlepage.

Bennett is a guy who has been in the Midwest and west coast for his coaching career – as an assistant to his father and for three seasons at the helm at Washington State. He's not exactly known as a plugged-in recruiter.

How in the world could he not have gone after Oklahoma's Jeff Capel or Xavier's Sean Miller?

They are both big-time recruiters and have more familiarity with the east coast.

Makes no sense.
