The 2021 edition of the weekly “Coach’s Corner with Tony Bennett” radio program will debut on Wednesday live from BJ’s Restaurant & Brewhouse in Charlottesville.
Coach’s Corner will be held most Mondays during the basketball season from 7-8 p.m. (ET). Schedule conflicts will move the show to Tuesday (Jan. 25, Feb. 8 and Feb. 15) or Wednesday (Jan. 5).
Each week Bennett will be joined by John Freeman, the new “Voice of the Cavaliers” to discuss the upcoming week’s opponents, review the previous games, and answer (and rate) fan questions.
“BJ’s Restaurant & Brewhouse is thrilled to partner with UVA and Coach’s Corner with Tony Bennett,” said Kevin Mayer, Chief Growth and Brand Officer of BJ’s Restaurants, Inc. (NASDAQ: BJRI). “We always strive to be a positive influence in our communities and hosting the show at our Charlottesville restaurant is a perfect partnership! With a menu featuring something for everyone, and award-winning craft beer, we think the UVA fans will approve. And, we know how Tony loves our world famous Pizookie® dessert.”
