Tony Bennett retiring...
- Thread starter AuHoosier420
- Start date
We probably just replace him with one of his assistants so I’m not quite sure you’ll want to
No co-ed is that lucky
Probably retired years ago but the paperwork just came through.
Hopefully he admits in his press conference tomorrow to the double dribble

He admitted it was a double dribble. Also, admitted Jerome was fouled before it
It will come out that Bennett made a pact that he would retire when his age matched our scoring average
He looks kinda old for 36.
which would have meant you got two free throws to tie the game instead of 3 to take a one point lead. so still no victory
He’s retiring with more championships than Bruce Pearl will ever have
one that he didnt earn yes. At worse it was a tie with Auburn having ball with 6 seconds left.
I hope that helps you sleep at night
He just heard this morning that Pat Kelsey is now coaching Louisville, I don’t blame him for wanting out now.
Damn, you can't let the past stay in past because you know the window is closed on Pearl.
The Ty Jerome double dribble got to him. He had been fighting the guilt of beating Auburn, the rightful winner of the Final Four game, for years.
Sounds like the kind of dude who would be sitting on the corner of the bed watching you bang his wife, right?
Can he also admit that Jerome left the free throw line early?
Damn, I guess this means Matt Painter is the only active coach to lose to a 16 seed as a 1 seed.
He is probably tired of NIL stuff and just wants to enjoy life. So he waited so long to force them to hire his prefered coach in waiting. Possibly screwing the school but helping a friend.
Yeah, I have a feeling this whole NIL/free agency circus is gonna force a lot of established coaches into early retirement. The job was hard enough before everyone had to promote NIL 24/7 and constantly have to re-recruit kids that already play for you every off-season, or pillage the portal when they leave. Jay Wright didn't want anything to do with it, and I can see why. Who would want those headaches when they already have a pile of cash to retire with?
Good riddance. That guy had Calapari like numbers against Louisville. If every team just sucks more, the Cardinals will become better.
Clearly this comes down to him hanging it up after watching Cooper Flagg highlight film.
Mossy wrote this in May of 2023.
The twist we didn't foresee: Bennett goes to Mossy for therapy and Mossy knew all along.
He can’t afford me anymore. I’m not surprised by him retiring. I’m surprised by the timing.
If he figures the AD wasn't likely to hire one of his assistants, this might be his idea of a succession plan that gives one of the assistants at least a 1-year trial.
Press conference made it sound that way. I’m torn on this. No one is going be able to do it Tony’s way as well as he did. I’d rather bring in an outside guy who implements his own system but has a similar philosophy as Bennett.
