“Ty Jerome was just a dude that came out of high school,” Parrish said. “(His) parents were blown away that Tony Bennett even knew who their kid was when they got the first phone call because he was not being recruited by ACC schools. It was basically Atlantic-10 schools, maybe an IVY league school – but it wasn’t ACC schools. So either Tony Bennett saw something in him that nobody else saw, or he’s done something with him that nobody else could do – because now Ty Jerome looks like he could be a first-round draft pick. Simply put, Tony Bennett, you could make a very reasonable case he is the best college basketball coach working right now.”
