I love me some Tony Bennett...I wish all coaches and leaders respected kids and cared about them while still pushing them to do their best!!! Congrats may God bless him and the Virginia Cavaliers!!!!!!!!!

this is a true team, you can tell the chemistry

This was a really sad day for me being a Texas tech fan but al respect goes to the coaching staff and players and fans of Virginia they played well. I though when we were up by three we had it but we were not paying attention. Congrats to Virginia but tech will come around.

What a role model for not only our youth but for all men

The G.O.A.T. = Coach Tony Bennett. Greatest coach ever. Congratulations on this historic win. I'm so proud of you and the players. I couldn't be anymore happier. Go Wahoos!!! UVA Nation!!!!!

Coach Tony Bennett....you sir are a class act. Thank You for playing a significant role in resurrecting this program. As a UVA alum, I've dreamed of this moment for 20+ years. Congratulations to you and the team. Truly an inspiring story!

Now if this guy sits in your living room and says he wants your kid to come to UVA how do you say no! What a class act and an amazing example of what a real man is. Those kids are so blessed and fortunate to be around him everyday. He just won many recruiting battles with this interview.

Their run through that tournament was magical, never seen anything like it and probably never will again, old enough to remember those Ralph Sampson lead teams when they got to the Final Four but fell short of getting to the championship game, this is for all those players, Ralph, Othell, Cory, Malcolm to name a few that didn't get to experience that, Congrats to my home state Hoos, Coach Bennett kept those guys on track and good luck this coming season...

Watch this to the end (and no, don't skip ahead). This is why Virginia basketball are national champions.

As a die hard Red Raider watching this still makes me sick. With that said top class from Tony Bennett and his players. A worthy opponent. We will be back sooner rather than later.

I love these young men immensely, but Ty is so good at this. He doesn’t take any wooden nickels. He’s respectful but quick and sharp with his rebuke. Proud alum here!

What parent wouldnt want Coach Bennent to coach their kid..Very positive influence...

Those kids are pure class, Tony is a spectacular judge of character as well as talent. The resurrection of the program has been great to watch.

I love Tony Bennett, you know he loved this team and gets excited about talking them every time he can!!

Tony Bennett is the best human ever. Kyle Guy needs a statue with those fts vs Auburn. Ty Jerome will have a great career as a pro and was the biggest leader for that team. De'Andre Hunter made the biggest 3 in UVA history.

This is the greatest coach in college basketball!perid

Coach is a man of faith for real! Its crazy how silent of a threat va is and was and at the end of the story. U hear all the scriptures quoted n glory going to god. Coach ur a great leader!

Literally love these guys! Thankful to have experienced the journey with you!

Thanks to all these guys - I finally got to live long enough to see UVA win it all in basketball

I agree with the comment below about watching the whole thing and not skipping to the end. But if you are pressed for time, Coach's last answer summarizes all that is great about him and his program. Many athletes are placed on a podium but don't belong there. This man, what he did, what his players did, is a story for the ages. They can't be on enough podiums.
