CHARLOTTESVILLE — Anthony Gill was getting snippy with his Virginia basketball teammates and coaches in practice. Coach Tony Bennett wasn’t having it. Not from the normally lighthearted goofball known for his pranks and his haircut — shaved from his neck to the top of his ears with a mop of curls on top. More importantly, not from one of the Cavaliers’ two fifth-year seniors who are expected to set an example for their younger teammates.
So around the beginning of December, Bennett sat with his team’s best forward and reminded him of his leadership role.
