}} Anthony Guy "Tony" Bennett (born June 1, 1969) is the head coach of the Virginia Cavaliers men's basketball team since March 31, 2009. He is a two-time winner of the Henry Iba Award for the top men's coach in college basketball as voted by the United States Basketball Writers Association, and is currently the repeat defending ACC Coach of the Year. A CBS Sports survey of nearly 100 NCAA head coaches in August 2015 found a majority believe Bennett is the best defensive coach in the nation.〔(Candid Coaches: Who is the best defensive coach in college basketball? ), accessed August 24, 2015〕 Bennett shares the school records for single-season wins at both Washington State (26, in both 2006–07 and 2007–08) and Virginia (30, in both 2013–14 and 2014–15). His teams tied records that had been in place since 1941 at Washington State and since 1982 at Virginia. Percentage-wise, Bennett is also Virginia's all-time winningest coach in ACC conference play and he holds the same distinction at Washington State from his short stint in the Pac-10. He won six major coaching awards in 2007, breaking the conference record of five set by legend John Wooden at UCLA in 1972.〔(Tony Bennett tabbed for six major coaching honors ), accessed February 5, 2015〕 Bennett was the only coach to have defeated all five Naismith Hall of Fame coaches active as of the 2014–15 season (Jim Boeheim, Larry Brown, Mike Krzyzewski, Rick Pitino, and Roy Williams).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Postgame Notes - #3 Virginia 52, #9 Louisville 47 )〕 In March 2015, Bennett became the first coach in ACC history to lead a team from outside Tobacco Road to consecutive outright ACC regular season titles. Including shared titles, he is the second after Terry Holland, also at Virginia. Bennett is just the third coach to lead any ACC team to consecutive 30-win seasons, after Krzyzewski and Williams.〔Mentioned by Jim Nance during the TruTV broadcast of the Virginia-Belmont Round of 64 NCAA Tournament game〕 Bennett played collegiately for the Green Bay Phoenix and professionally for the NBA's Charlotte Hornets. He won the Frances Pomeroy Naismith Award in 1992 as the nation's top player standing under six feet tall, and was simultaneously honored as the nation's Academic All-American of the Year for his scholastic work.〔(), accessed February 5, 2015〕 Well known in his playing days as a deadly sharpshooter, Bennett ranks #1 all-time in NCAA Division I history for career three-point field goal accuracy, at 49.7%, peaking at 53.3% in 1990–91.〔〔(2013-14 NCAA Men's Basketball Records - Division I, p.2 – Individual Records )〕 By the NCAA standard minimum of 200 made and a minimum of 2.0 made per game, Bennett holds the all-time record by nearly three percentage points.〔 He left Green Bay as the Mid-Continent Conference's all-time leader in both points and assists.〔 The best known member of a talented coaching family tree, he is the son of former Green Bay and Wisconsin Badgers coach Dick Bennett and brother of former Northern Illinois women's basketball head coach Kathi Bennett. The frustrating "pack line" defense that the younger Bennett has perfected at Virginia was first implemented by his father at Green Bay, Wisconsin, and Washington State.〔Koremenos, Brett.
