Take those of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Julius Erving, for example. Virginia head coach Terry Holland is not exactly a basketball legend of the Abdul-Jabbar or Erving stature, but Virginia fans will bid Holland a fond farewell during his 16th and final season at UVa. Holland is just going home. After the season, he will take on the job of athletic director at his alma mater, Davidson. Holland played for the Wildcats and coached there for five years before going to Virginia. . "The initial shock (of Holland's plans to leave) has worn off," senior guard John Crotty said. "We've re ally come together as a team, and we're working on the things we can control." If the preseason prognosticators are correct, Holland's road out of Charlottesville may be a rocky one, as the Cavs are predicted to finish at the bottom of the ACC heap. Fortu nately for Virginia, those prognosti cators can be wrong. Last year, the Cavaliers were, supposed to battle Wake Forest for the ACC cellar but ended up battling N.C. State, Duke and North Carolina for the confer ence title. Virginia ended up with a 22-1 1 overall record and a 9-5 ACC mark, which was good enough to tie North Carolina and Duke for a second-place ACC finish. After losing by 1 1 to Duke in the ACC tournament semifinals, Virginia played the Cinderella role in the NCAA tournament, rolling up to just Virginia Roster No. 30 31 22 44 23 15 42 24 4 10 11 20 12 21 52 Name Matt Blundin 'Mark Cooke John Crotty .

One of the main reasons for Vir ginia exceeding all expectations last year was the emergence of ACC Rookie of the Year Bryant Stith. The 6-foot-5 forward out of Freeman, Va., was simply a force on the offensive . end of the floor. Stith, who is one of the smaller frontcourt players in the ACC, recorded 12 1 offensive re bounds, an ACC record. He added to that total with 95 defensive rebounds. Among all ACC returnees with more than 10 rebounds last season, Stith was one of only two players to have more offensive rebounds than defensive rebounds. Offensive boards generally mean high-percentage second shots, and Stith, as one might expect, averaged a very solid 55 percent from the floor while scoring 15.5 points a game. Stith also led the ACC in free throw attempts, converting 77 per cent of them. While Stith returns, the Cavaliers lose to graduation their other main man in guard Richard Morgan, who almost single-handedly dismantled North Carolina last season in Char lottesville. Morgan was the Cavs' leading scorer with an average of 20.4 points per game. Six-foot-six sophomore guard Anthony Oliver is one possibility to replace Morgan, but Oliver shot only 39 percent from the floor and was one of six from three-point territory in his freshman year. Freshman Chris Havlicek, son of basketball Hall of Famer John Havli cek, should also get a look. Another freshman guard, Terry Kirby, who is 6-3, 212, chose Vir ginia in part because he could also play football.
