A CBS Sports survey of opposing NCAA head coaches in 2015 found Bennett is regarded as the best defensive coach in the nation, and his system has also won praise as one of the most efficient offenses. Bennett is a two-time winner of the prestigious Henry Iba Award for the top men's coach nationwide as voted by the USBWA, and has won similar awards from the AP and Naismith. He is a repeat winner of and the defending ACC Coach of the Year.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. Bennett is Virginia's all-time leader in ACC win percentage, and is Washington State's all-time leader in Pac-12 win percentage. He won six major coaching awards in 2007, breaking the Pac-12 record set by legend John Wooden in 1972. Bennett was the first coach to have defeated all five Naismith Hall of Fame coaches active as of the 2014–15 season and in the same year became the first coach to lead a team from outside Tobacco Road to back-to-back outright ACC regular season titles. Including shared titles, he is just the second in ACC history after Terry Holland. Bennett is also one of only three coaches (with Mike Krzyzewski and Roy Williams) to lead an ACC team to back-to-back 30-win seasons. His Cavaliers defeated Duke for the 2014 ACC Tournament championship.Bennett played for the Green Bay Phoenix in college and the Charlotte Hornets in the NBA. 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 academic efforts. Bennett ranks first in NCAA Division I history for career three-point field goal accuracy, at 49.7%, peaking at 53.3% in 1990–91, and holds the all-time record by nearly three percentage points. He left Green Bay as the former Mid-Continent Conference's all-time leader in both points and assists, and played three years for the Hornets before suffering a foot injury. He later attempted a professional comeback in Australia and New Zealand, where he then started coaching.The best known member of a talented coaching family tree, he is the son of former Wisconsin Badgers, Green Bay, and Washington State coach Dick Bennett, and brother of former Indiana Hoosiers and Northern Illinois head coach Kathi Bennett. The frustrating \"pack line\" defense that the younger Bennett has perfected at Virginia was first implemented in an earlier form by the elder Bennett up until Tony took over head coaching duties from his father at Washington State."@en }
