Terry Holland, the gentlemanly coach who brought Ralph Sampson to Charlottesville and turned the University of Virginia into a college basketball power, has died at the age of 80.

Holland led the Cavaliers to nine NCAA tournament appearances – and two Final Fours – in his 16 years at the school while competing against a who's who of ACC coaching legends, including Dean Smith, Mike Krzyzewski, Lefty Driesell and Jim Valvano.
