Do you have a favorite moment from your playing days?

I’ve got a bunch of favorite moments. Going to the tournament every time we went to the tournament, beating Carolina at home my senior year – there’s just a ton of games that stand out. All the tournament wins, the NIT Championship my first year. Probably, my most memorable game we lost, but it was Carolina in the championship for the ACC Tournament where the lights go out because there was a snowstorm. I think Dean Smith actually paid to have the lights go out. I think we were ahead with about four or five minutes to go and the lights go out. They take about a 10-minute break and then they come out they crush us after that; they ended up winning by eight or nine. So I’ll never forget that one. I think Dean paid somebody down there in Charlotte.

What’s your favorite part about being back at UVa so far?
