During his four-year playing career at Wisconsin-Green Bay, current Virginia head coach Tony Bennett averaged 19.4 points per game and made 290 three-pointers, shooting 49.4 percent from beyond the arc. Bennett’s skill led to his being drafted by Charlotte with the 35th overall pick in the 1992 NBA Draft, and he would play both in the NBA and overseas before beginning his coaching career.

Tuesday afternoon Virginia sent out a video via its Twitter account to show that Bennett hasn’t lost the range or accuracy on his jumper, with the head coach going make for make with shooting guard Kyle Guy.
