Virginia men\u2019s basketball reportedly will turn to an antagonist from its past.<\/p>\n
According to various reports,\u00a0including The Athletic, the Cavaliers are expected to hire Ryan Odom from VCU \u2014 and a few stops before that, from the University of Maryland Baltimore County squad that stunned Virginia in the 2018 NCAA Tournament \u2014 to become their new head coach.<\/p>\n
Odom led VCU to the NCAA Tournament in his second season with the Atlantic 10 program, whose season ended Thursday with a loss to sixth-seeded BYU.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He has moved steadily through the ranks of college basketball, his run beginning in 2016 at the unheralded UMBC, with whom he qualified for the school\u2019s second-ever NCAA Tournament appearance in \u201918 \u2014 when the Retrievers became the first No. 16 seed to take down a No. 1 seed, with Virginia getting demolished in one of the largest upsets in the sport\u2019s history.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Odom remained at UMBC until 2021, when he made the leap to Utah State. <\/p>\n
Just like at VCU, he lasted two seasons, cracked the NCAA Tournament in the second season and then climbed to a bigger program.<\/p>\n
Now Odom, a North Carolina native and the son of longtime Wake Forest and South Carolina head coach Dave Odom, goes close to home.<\/p>\n
The Cavaliers hope they have found a true replacement for Tony Bennett, who shocked the college basketball world by retiring shortly before this season, citing frustration with the NIL era that he did not feel equipped for. <\/p>\n
Associate head coach Ron Sanchez took over and led Virginia to a 15-17 season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
