                       RECOGNIZING TERRY HOLLAND

  (Mr. GOOD of Virginia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. GOOD of Virginia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
gentleman from Virginia, former University of Virginia basketball 
coach, Terry Holland.
  Coach Holland was hired in 1974 at the young age of 31 to be the head 
coach of the UVA Men's basketball program after they had only 
experienced three winning seasons in 21 years.
  Under his leadership, UVA would win more than 300 games in 16 years, 
make two Final Four appearances, win an NIT Title, an ACC Tournament 
Championship, and three ACC regular season titles.
  Not surprisingly, Coach Holland also won two ACC Coach of the Year 
awards. He retired from coaching in 1990 then returned in 1995 to serve 
as the athletic director at UVA. Then, in 2014, he permanently retired, 
leaving behind a legacy of service and dedication.
  Sadly, about 4 weeks ago, on February 26, at the age of 80, Coach 
Holland succumbed to Alzheimer's disease.
  His exemplary life truly impacted the lives of his student-athletes, 
his coaches, his colleagues, his competitors and, of course, his loyal 
fans, along with the entire University of Virginia community.
