Took WSU to an impressive level

He's won 2 straight ACC's according to the announcers on CBS today. UVgAy (lol) is usually at best a middle of the pack ACC team. They're definitely below Duke, UNC, and Syracuse, Maryland before they ditched, and no better than Wake Forest, BC, GT, NC St, and Clemson.

His system is boring as hell, but he wins.

It's a good name to throw in the face of Doogs when they ask for someone better. Remember him jackass? He coached for Wazzu.

    I think the OP asked for coaches 'better than Romar' and not coaches who have crushed the NCAAs.
    If he can't win in the tourney, what's the point?

    I never thought about it before but Bennett is the absolute anti-Romar. I doubt you could find more polar opposite coaches in the NCAAs style-wise

    Get to the tourney? Iono. You're arguing against a phantom opponent, no one is disputing what you're saying.

    Fire Marshall Bill seems to think Bennett would be better than Romar.

    I disagree.

    Watching a bunch of Australians play a boring as fuck brand of bball so we? can still lose in the Sweet 16 is not a positive move.

    Let me get this straight. You think Romar is a better coach that Bennett?

    I disagree.

    Watching a bunch of undisciplined west coast guys play gym rat ball so we? can still miss out on a single fucking post season tournament is not a positive move.

    Bennett not a good fit at UW. Lesbo president would never hire competition for bi-/undecided females.

    UVA frat boy/sorority girl culture way better for sexing it up.

    Please list the accomplishments of any D1 coach outside of Callipari, Coach K, izzo or Patino add Bo Ryan to this short list! You sound like a fucking idiot


    #8 Tony Bennett, Virginia
    Record at Virginia: 136-64, 64-37 ACC

    NCAA Tournament: 6-5

    Number to note: Virginia’s record against the RPI top 50 has improved in each of the last five seasons from 0-6 to 2-6 to 4-3 to 5-4 to 8-3 in 2015.

    Why he’s ranked here: The early NCAA Tournament exits in the last two seasons — both to Michigan State — will haunt Bennett, but the Cavaliers are coming off back-to-back 30-win seasons and ACC regular season titles despite lesser talent compared to teams like Duke, North Carolina and Louisville.

    I'm in the middle of this argument as bennett is better than romar b/c he does much more with less. That being said, he hasn't done anything earth shattering either and I have to agree that bennett is not a fit at UW.

    We? need to be honest about the players that come out of seattle and find a coach who would thrive with that type of player. Bennett isn't getting 80% of the guys Romar gets to come to UW b/c as TF said his brand of basketball is fucking boring and isn't tailored to their skills. If you want to slow the ball to a crawl to win games than more power to you, but it's going to be hard to win in the tourney, and it's going to be impossible to recruit to garfield/RB players.

    There are lots of coaches out there with solid resume's who could have an uptempo offense with discipline on defense. Archie miller is still my favorite choice of coaches who could come in and take over a team and keep players. He has a resume of success, post season success, and plenty of credibility in the game.

    All this is pointless as nobody in the AD past or future has the balls to fire romar. If 4 years out of the tourney(and likely 5) wasn't enough, now with all the talent the roster has there just isn't a person with a pair willing to remove him and admit 14 years is enough to be further than a sweet 16.

    Agree, since Romar isn't going anywhere.

    But if he was to be replaced, I like Archie Miller more than Bennett too.

    You wanna talk about doing more with less. Miller has actually knocked off good teams when it counts, in the tourney. Not just winning some meaningless conference title and then doing shit in the tourney like Bennett.

    Hiring Bennett would be like hiring Ken Niumatalolo or Paul Johnson as the football HC to run the option. As cool as that sounds to purists, the option isn't winning shit in modern day football. Bennett's system is similarly outdated.

    Bennett is a fucking loser. No wonder some of you love him.

    Did you not read the start of this thread?

    FMB's poont is that you can fire Romar because Bennett would be a better hire.

    I was replying to him when you decided to join in the conversation to fluff Bennett.

    And yes, he's a fucking loser.
