    Bennett said, during his presser, that during a late summer break from the hectic schedule of a modern-day coach, he sat down with his wife during vacation and they jointly determined that it just wasn't going to work.

    Define "abrupt" ... I think he's been chewing on this for a while. Back in the spring, I had heard his name as someone who wouldn't be a shock if he retired like Jay Wright did. It is possible (and the theory has been floated around) that he waited until the point at which he'd force UVA's hand to let his assistant lead the program (or at least get a good shot for one year). Counter to that, how would you coach and recruit all offseason if you knew you weren't all in?

    That's a shame. He's one of the few ACC coaches I actually liked.

    Men's Basketball Welcomes Back Stowe As Assistant Coach

    https://gobearcats.com/news/2024/7/1...ant-coach.aspx

    Jaylen Stowe was a GA for the Bearcats from 2021-23, Miller's first two years, before landing his first full-time job as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at High Point. It was a memorable year for the Panthers, who with 11 newcomers won the Big South regular-season title and went 27-9, the winningest season in their Division I history. First-year head coach Alan Huss was the league's Coach of the Year among several team postseason accolades.
