Bennett has only once had an adjusted tempo ranking on KenPom above 336 (out of 357). That was his first year where they ranked 316th which was a huge drop from the 89th ranked pace they had in Dave Leitao's last year at UVA. Fun fact, they have ranked 353, 353, and 357 in the past 3 seasons. Bennett is a great coach, but I don't see how continuation of the packline and a snail's pace offense is going to be moving the program into the future as Dolson claimed.

Hippopotamo Posted March 22, 2021 Report Share Posted March 22, 2021 I don’t really think Bennett is likely, but he probably has the best college resume of anyone who even has a chance today of coming. No reason to not be excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JABBATHEHOOSIER Posted March 22, 2021 Report Share Posted March 22, 2021 Bennett would be out of left field but I cannot possibly see how anybody would be unhappy with that hire. The guy can flat out coach. Multiple ACC Titles and a National Championship. I'd take him all day long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah he’s more old school controlled strategic game and less free flowing in my opinion. Basically an improved Miller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can he sustain it? That’s the part that remains to be seen. Anyone remember Mike Davis doing basically the same thing???? Mike Davis, to his own verbiage, mixed up recruiting and the class that was going to save him Rothbart and Smith went pro out of HS. Then, the pressure and honestly the hatred that was sent his way - he stopped functioning. It was more than coaching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiveoutofsix Posted March 22, 2021 Report Share Posted March 22, 2021 Bennett would be a great hire. Doesn't have the innovative offense, but can adapt. Didn't Archie implement the bump and cut? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiveoutofsix Posted March 22, 2021 Report Share Posted March 22, 2021 If you put all your eggs into the basket over tweets. Landers tweet could connect many things, but wasn't he abhuge Michigan fan and that was his dream school? Didn't Kendrick tweet that years ago? So, John B in the equation?

Hoosierfan1215 Posted March 22, 2021 Report Share Posted March 22, 2021 Lol this entire situation is crazy. Message boards and Twitter are the worst for coaching searches. I love the info but the emotional rollercoaster is worse than watching an actual game. Bennet? Donovan lmao. I don’t even know what to think at this point besides “I can’t wait until it’s official”. I just hope it isn’t an IU guy for the sake of being an IU guy. There’s 5-6 guys I wouldn’t throw a fit about. None of them are IU guys unless they are as assistants.
