Pleased as punch to be tweetin' at ya from inside the heart and mind of UVa's Coach Tony Bennett. (Not actually affiliated with Tony Bennett.)

Just your average 21-year-old, who has publicly struggled with anxiety, on the biggest stage of his life, draining the three most massive FTs imaginable. So happy for him.

@Zach_Carey_ Once got called “Detlef” in a pickup game there. Nicest thing anyone has ever said to me on a basketball court.

WTF happened to the t-shirt cannon?

[Goshdarn Tony @GoshdarnTony]

@DevonsShoe @Zach_Carey_ I would argue the only conceivable unfairness is to currently enrolled players, whose options are limited. Would have been a transfer tsunami any other time. This timing gives the program a shot at a decent year to use in rebuild.

[Goshdarn Tony @GoshdarnTony]

So from one sappy, 50-something lifelong fan: Thank you, Coach.

[Goshdarn Tony @GoshdarnTony]

I met TB exactly once, about 6 or 7 years ago. My cousin was a high school coach from whatever the *opposite* of a recruiting powerhouse is. But he’d asked (through a distant connection to a junior staffer) to watch a practice because his HS team ran a version of the Packline.

[Goshdarn Tony @GoshdarnTony]

But truth is a two-way street. And as proud as we are of his class and leadership the past 15 years, we should be equally proud of his decision to stay true to himself by stepping down—even if the timing was hard or imperfect.

[Goshdarn Tony @GoshdarnTony]

This Tweet is damn near perfect.

Shohei is in the perfect position to become the next face of Rocket Money

Mad respect to the UNC fan commemorating the #FlipTrip behind Bilas and Shulman.

[Goshdarn Tony @GoshdarnTony]

Scheyer honoring the #brotherhood (TM).

[Big Cat @BarstoolBigCat]

Everyone relax and please remember that one of the side effects of a horrific knee/ankle/sore injury that almost paralyzed Kyle Filipowski is that now he randomly will trip people. It’s medical science

[Goshdarn Tony @GoshdarnTony]

So I guess we ride or die with Taine now? He’s the only player I can think of whose floor and ceiling are the same height, but he’s raised that level enough to earn the PT.

[Goshdarn Tony @GoshdarnTony]

I can’t in good conscience keep bringing my 82-year-old father in law to these games.

Reece needs a smoke.
