UVAs Hoops Program is actually in bad shape long term
You can't win National Titles with that style. Syracuse has only 1 in 40 years with superior talent over the years. The problem for both schools is.....you win lots of games, and the occasional conference tournament, so the thought of replacing the coach and going another direction is unheard of. As a matter of fact, you get terms like "legend" for Jimmy B and "I respect Bennett, he can coach".
In my opinion, they play gimmick basketball and soon, it will actually hurt UVA in recruiting. They don't have the luxury of being all alone in NY State like Syracuse. If Bennett changes the style of play while UVA is still hot and a center point in national recruiting, they could be special. But like Jimmy B, he will not change, and he will acrue tons of wins and end up in the Hall of Fame, but it's a false sense of security for a Hoops Program. They will never win a title with that style.
