With Tony Bennett announcing his retirement, Ron Sanchez has been named Virginia men's basketball's interim head coach.
In the wake of Tony Bennett's surprising immediate retirement, Ron Sanchez has been named the interim head coach of themen's basketball team for the 2024-2025 season, as announced at Bennett's retirement press conference on Friday morning. Bennett gave a lengthy opening statement to begin the press conference that ended with him indicating that Sanchez would be taking over head coaching duties for the Cavaliers this season.
In his press conference on Friday, Bennett cited the complex and problematic state of college basketball and its issues regarding NIL and the NCAA calendar with the transfer portal as primary factors in his decision to retire, a decision he came to earlier this week while on a brief vacation with his wife, Laurel. Bennett came to the conclusion that he was "no longer the right guy for the job.
“We are thrilled to welcome Ron and his family back to the University of Virginia. Ron played an integral part in building this program and was a pillar in the community. He is an outstanding recruiter and coach, and really connects with student-athletes. Ron’s last five years as a head coach enhances what he will bring back to our basketball program.”
