Very telling about the state of the sport....UVa Basketball Coach Tony Bennett stepping down.  It was an emotional press conference
 

Just wondering how many other "old school" coaches are considering the same

No respect for people that quit 30 seconds before the curtain goes up. 

I'm sure he has freshman he recruited and he quit before they played their first game. 

He should have just said it's his final season and finish things up.

Not going to argue with that. But, who knows what may have transpired in talks with the University. Bennett said the decision came about following a weekend vacation with his wife. He just signed an extension to his contract this past Spring and intended to fulfill his obligation at the time. 
It's possible he went back to work Monday and asked that the extension be removed. The University may have balked at the negotiations and allowed him to announce his resignation rather than firing him. Stranger things have happened.
