Report: Virginia hiring VCU's Ryan Odom
Virginia is hiring VCU's Ryan Odom as its next head coach, sources told CBS Sports' Matt Norlander.
An official announcement from the Cavaliers will be made Saturday, Norlander added.
Odom will replace interim head coach Ron Sanchez, who took over in October after the sudden retirement of Tony Bennett.
Virginia stumbled to a 15-17 mark during Sanchez's lone season in charge.
Odom spent the previous two campaigns with the Rams, guiding the program to a 52-21 record. He led VCU to an A-10 regular-season title and conference tournament crown this past season.
Odom famously coached 16th-seeded UMBC to an upset of top-seeded Virginia in the 2018 NCAA Tournament. The 50-year-old subsequently spent three more seasons with the Retrievers before joining Utah State for a two-year stint.
The Cavaliers haven't won an NCAA Tournament game since capturing the 2019 national championship.
