Virginia Basketball: What's Next (VIP)

The Cavaliers are set to move on without Tony Bennett

For the first time in 15 years, when Virginia hosted its media day, Tony Bennett wasn't there.

The honor went to interim head coach Ron Sanchez.

For those concerned about a drastic shift, it's important to note that this isn't a Penn State situation, where the coaching staff underwent a major change from Micah Shrewsberry to Mike Rhoades.

There's a reason why Sanchez was on Bennett's staff. Though there might be slight differences in philosophy, overall, things will look familiar to fans and opponents even though a coach warned me to withhold judgment because Sanchez has only had the team for a week.

As for the players, the message was clear.
