For 10 years, Virginia Cavaliers coach Tony Bennett has been a shining example for UVA and has been one of the most successful coaches in college basketball. However, the one knock on Coach Bennett was the lack of a championship or a Final Four appearance. That all changes now after the thrilling title run. Bennett now stacks up favorably compared to the rest of the college coaching landscape.
There are now only nine active coaches in college basketball that have won a title after Bennett joined their ranks.
- Mike Krzyzewski
- Jim Boeheim
- Roy Williams
- Tom Izzo
- John Calipari
- Tubby Smith
- Jay Wright
- Tony Bennett
The first six are already in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.
