Coaching Searches are OVER

Well that was quite a rush for a pair of Virginia schools. First let me start with UVA, a school that people know I don't particularly care for. Tony Bennett is an outstanding hire. The man has done a lot with Wazzu and this past year's effort should be the reason why you like him. Wazzu wasn't expected to do squat in the PAC 10 yet this team made a late push for a potential at-large and got an NIT bid instead. He's shown he can recruit and he's shown that he can win. Bennett's going to do well. Don't worry about the style of play. Clearly the up and down style (see: no defense played) of Dave Leiteo didnt work. Cougar students showed up for Bennett's team, UVA students will do the same or pay for it. Sounds familiar like another Virginia school.

VCU's hire is good as well. Shaka Smart is a stud, bar none. Florida fans arent happy he's leaving while we took another "Anthony Grant" from their school. Grant was a one of a kind coach and his departure will leave a void temporarily. He's class personified and those condemning him for leaving should look in the mirror and tell themselves they wouldnt have done the same. Grant will prosper in Alabama and those who were unhappy he left, will quickly turn around and root for him in the end. Smart keeps Eblen and the rest of the current Rams squad, Mason and ODU fans will be complaining once again that VCU is too good. VCU made the "smart" hire. hehe

It's almost baseball season...So excited for it because for the first month or two the Marlins are hanging around.

Later on fellas
