Virginia Sports Hall of Fame to induct former Virginia coach Terry Holland in April

The Cavaliers' all-time winningest men's basketball coach and former Athletic Director Terry Holland will be inducted to the Virginia Sports Hall of Fame April 26.

Holland, who coached Virginia legends Ralph Sampson and Jeff Lamp, manned the helm of Virginia basketball from 1974-1990, compiling a record of 326-173 and leading the Cavaliers to nine NCAA appearances, an NIT Championship and the Cavaliers' only two Final Four appearances.

For six years from 1990-1995, Holland also served as Virginia's Athletic Director, and currently is a special assistant to University President John T. Casteen III.

As a player, Holland was the first recruit of Coach Lefty Driesell at Davidson, where he led the team to a national ranking as high as No. 3 as captain of the team.

Holland took over the reigns at Davidson when Driesell left for Maryland, coaching the Wildcats to a 92-43 record in his term as head coach.Holland left the Southern Conference after winning three Southern Conference coach of the year awards and came to Virginia
