Anthony Guy Bennett (born June 1 1969 in Green Bay, Wisconsin) is currently the top assistant men's basketball coach to his father Dick Bennett at Washington State University.

Tony played for his father at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay. While there, the Bennetts led the Phoenix to an NCAA Tournament berth and two appearances in the NIT. During his time there, the Phoenix had record of 87-34 (.719) en route to Tony being named conference player of the year twice. Tony won the Frances Pomeroy Naismith Award given to the nation's most outstanding senior under six-feet tall and was named the 1992 GTE Academic All-American of the year. He also started for a bronze-medal winning 1991 Pan-American Games team led by Gene Keady. He finished his collegiate career as the Mid-Continent Conference's all-time leader in points (2,285) and assists (601). He still ranks as the NCAA's all-time leader in 3-point percentage (.497).

Tony went on to be picked 35th overall in the 1992 NBA Draft. He spent three seasons (1992-1995) with the Charlotte Hornets before a foot injury abruptly ended his career.

When his father Dick retires, Tony will inherit the head coaching position at WSU.
