The University of Virginia men’s basketball team will be under new leadership next season, with the athletics department opting not to retain interim Head Coach Ron Sanchez, as announced March 12. Sanchez was thrust into the job on October 15,

In a press release, UVA announced VCU head coach Ryan Odom as Tony Bennett’s official successor after interim head coach Ron Sanchez was not retained following the conclusion of Virginia’s season in the ACC Tournament.

The way it played out, Sanchez, who followed Bennett to Virginia when Bennett was hired away from Washington State in 2009, and was at his side for two stretches, around a five-year stint when he left to serve as the head coach at Charlotte, got the chance to audition on the job for the past five months.
