Tony Bennett Article

Coach Starkey at LSU shares a really good article from the Washington Post on Coach Tony Bennett.  If you are not following Coach Starkey on Twitter, do it… always good stuff.

I’ve only been to a couple Virginia Men’s games and a practice, but judging from what I’ve seen… all of this is 100% true.

Coach Bennett & Family

Even going back to listening to him at his press conference, the guy is who he is… genuine, nice, incredibly sincere, while demanding what he believes in – what he is teaching.  He speaks of the process of being successful and it is not limited to the court.  His process is about being a good person, a successful person with how you conduct yourself, how you approach practice, approach school, approach your personal life.  All of it correlates to being a winner and plays a roll in winning.

“The process” is working… a 75-60 win at North Carolina is a gigantic win.  The game isn’t on ESPN360.com, but should be.  If you can, find it and watch it.  The defense is spectacular… I want to know what “The Roar” is…  The All-Time record in the UNC – Virginia series?… 124-48 UNC, 63-5 UNC in Chapel Hill… opps, 63-6 now.  1-0 during the Tony Bennett era.

Although the ink on most of those first-semester final exams isn’t even dry yet and, for the most part, conference play hasn’t even begun, some truths about this season appear to be self-evident. A few are laid out here, but the unknowns always outnumber the knowns at this point in any season. So let this serve as something of a checkpoint on the journey to Selection Monday and then to San Antonio.

The No. 1 seeds

We know Connecticut and Stanford will be No. 1 seeds come March 15th. Only an act of God (global warming melting all the snow at once and turning Storrs into a cross between Atlantis and Kevin Costner’s “Waterworld”) or at least Santa showing up at your house next week (don’t let the kids read this) will prevent the Huskies from being the top seed in Dayton.

2009 – 10 ACC Women’s Basketball Preview

ACC Women's BKB Preview

Over the past two weeks there has been less content on our ABR site.  My apologies.  I have been preparing the ABR ACC WOMEN’S BASKETBALL PREVIEW.

Each pre-season I found it helpful to write a one-page Pre-Season Opponent Overview. I always felt it helped with early season practices and planning for what we might see.

Here is an example:  PRE-SEASON OPPONENT OVERVIEW

With that in mind, and now that everyone is about two weeks into practice, I wanted to provide you with the ABR ACC Women’s Basketball Preview.

The intent is to summarize the 2008-09 season and forecast somethings to expect for 2009-10.

I’d welcome your feedback.

Enjoy…
