Humble Champions
By Peter Leithart
“What makes this team special?” a reporter asked UVA basketball coach Tony Bennett after his Cavaliers beat Syracuse to sew up the regular-season ACC championship.
“Humility,” Bennett replied, then looked down and waited for the next question. He explained a moment later: His team plays together, doesn’t care who gets the glory, shares the ball and the glory.
Humility as the way to glory: Sounds vaguely familiar to me.
