Mr. Dick Bennett is such an inspiration and humanitarian beyond reproach. My son's mother passed away on 12-25-1996. My son(9 y/o) and his friend Mark Hong got to go to a practice 1997 and meet the team for a while. I remember Charlie Wills, Mike Kelley, and others to be especially empathetc towards Joe's suffering. This will never be forgotten by Joseph, Mark, and myself. Thank you coach Bennett and the TEAM for making my son Joseph's Christmas a bit easier to Stomach, so to speak, it was priceless, to be absolutely sure.
Had the pleasure of going to UWGB and watching the Dick Bennett and Tony show up close and personal and talking with them on campus from time to time. Such humble and great human beings and wanted Dick to coach at UW so badly and was very happy that he finally got his chance to contribute to the Badger program's success like what he did for the Phoenix. Listening to this broadcast and hearing all of these coaches share their stories was just awesome. I would love to get Tony back to UW to coach in the future but know in my heart that won't happen. On Wisconsin.
