Anthony Guy Bennett (born June 1, 1969) is the head coach of the Virginia Cavaliers men's basketball team since March 31, 2009. Bennett is regarded as the best defensive coach in the NCAA (according to a 2015 survey of coaches) and his motion offense is praised as one of the most efficient and elite. The style of basketball he teaches has been compared to a boa constrictor choking out opponents, and his teams are known for their unselfish play, defense-first philosophy, and tempo control.
Bennett has been called (by CBS Sports) the "landlord" of ACC basketball. He is the only coach in ACC history to win 16 conference games in consecutive seasons, and one of three to achieve back-to-back 30-win seasons. In February 2018, Bennett led his Virginia Cavaliers to their first No. 1 ranking in the AP poll since December 1982.Bennett is a two-time winner of the prestigious Henry Iba Award for the nation's top coach, and has won the Jim Phelan Award and National Coach of the Year honors from the AP and Naismith. His Cavaliers won outright ACC regular season titles in 2014 and 2015, won the 2014 ACC Tournament, and reached the Elite Eight in 2016. Bennett shares school records for single-season wins at both Virginia and Washington State, and won six major coaching awards in 2007 to break the Pac-12 record set by legend John Wooden at UCLA in 1972.

I really sucks because he seems like he has the tools but just doesn't want to do it. It just doesn't seem like you should take a C #1 if the guy doesn't want to protect the rim or stop people from driving in for layups. I mean how many good teams play a good offensive scoring C from the inside who doesn't play D?

Definitely. He is a guy that invigorates the whole team....make everyone better, do the little things...pass, score, and is a proven winner...an alpha.
I think a good defensive center is important in the league today, but I think they are much easier to come by in free agency....and possibly at low cost. And I don't even think you need to play a true C that much today to be successful.

Is this Bagley vs Carter?
It's starting to look like I'm going to die alone atop Bagley mountain.
Are you going to explain this or leave this as is?

If Miller is fired for cause, his contract is written in such a way that he would still receive more than 85 percent of the money he is owed through May 31, 2022. However, he would lose a longevity bonus of an undisclosed amount, which Arizona was due to pay him in May 2020.
Miller's contract provides that even if he is fired with cause, the university would have to pay his base salary. The contract defines his base salary as his salary plus his peripheral salary. That adds up to roughly $10.3 million through May 2022. The only part that Miller wouldn't be entitled to is $1.7 million from Nike and IMG that is due to him if he completes his contract.

The contract also provides that if Miller commits an NCAA violation, he would have to pay up to $300,000 in damages to the university's coffers for the price of defending itself. If an NCAA violation occurs, Arizona has the right to claw back bonuses given to Miller during the time of the violation.

That contract communicates an EXPECTATION of cheating and encourages it. The university president and the board of regents that approved that deal should all be removed.

This is exactly what i'm thinking too. Really weird and fishy.
I guess we'll have to start the program from the scratch now.
The language in Miller's contract was standard for all high-profile UA coaches until just last month. The Arizona Board of Regents approved football coach Kevin Sumlin's contract, but only after building in an expanded "morals clause" and offset language requiring a terminated coach to seek employment rather than simply collect money from the UA. Miller has no such clauses.
