Tony creates a team each year of incredible poise and leadership. We all deserve to hear what this man has to say.

As the parent of a graduating senior and a 2013 alum, it would be an absolute honor to attend a graduation weekend ceremony at which Coach Bennett is a speaker. In this extra special year, nothing would make the weekend more special, and Mr. Jefferson more proud, than to have the coach who took the UVA men’s basket ball to the finals AND WON, say a few words of encouragement to the graduates.

Mr. Bennett’s dignified style of coaching, his demonstrated commitment to ethics, hard work and fair play, and his dedication to The University would make him a superb speaker during graduation weekend.

I can think of no person that could better embody UVA values and traditions of the last 200 years than Tony Bennett.

Mamadi Diakite made a promise to me our first year in Ohill that he would help deliver a championship before I graduated. Mamadi made good on that promise simply because a coach like Tony Bennett made it possible. Tony Bennett absolutely NEEDS to speak graduation weekend.

So many life lessons for setting values, staying the course, and persevering through ups and downs.

As a former Uva athlete I think this idea is wonderful given that the adversity conquered. Great message for students entering the real world

This is my 2nd child graduating from UVA (out of state- from GA). This is a very special centennial year and warrants a speaker of this caliber, and achievement- a memorable moment and year!

This basketball team and this coach is so meaningful to this school and these graduates. It would mean the world to the uva community to have tony address these graduates for 5 or 10 minutes! We would stay later!
