Terry Holland, the legendary former Virginia men's basketball, has died at age 80. According to the Richmond Times-Dispatch, Holland had been diagnosed with Alzheimer's in 2019, and died at an Alzheimer's care facility in Charlottesville, Virginia, where he'd been living with his wife.
Former Davidson basketball player, coach, and Athletic Director Terry Holland smiles during a ceremony to retire his jersey number 42 following the NCAA college basketball game between LaSalle and Davidson on Sunday, Jan. 30, 2022, in Davidson, N.C. Terry Holland, the legendary former Virginia men's basketball, has died at age 80.
One thing Holland couldn't manage to do at Virginia was win the school's first national championship in men's basketball. When the Cavaliers finally did it in 2019, Holland was in the building, cheering on the team and head coach Tony Bennett. Turning Virginia into a powerhouse is just one of his many accomplishments as a coach. He also spent a significant amount of time working at his alma mater, Davidson, where he'd been a college basketball star. That's also where he cut his teeth as a coach, first working as an assistant and then getting the promotion to head coach in 1969.
"He was a visionary, a positive coach," said Bobby Stokes, Mr. Holland's physician and a captain of his 1978-79 Virginia team."He made it his mission to make it like a family. He cared about you off the basketball court and helped you grow along the way."
