Bennett will hold a press conference on Friday at 11 a.m. to discuss his decision.
University of Virginia basketball coach Tony Bennett is retiring just months after he signed a contract extension in June that would have kept him with the program through the 2029-30 season, the school announced on Thursday. The announcement by the program did not say why Bennett is planning on retiring nor did it indicate who would take over the men’s basketball program with the season less than a month away from starting.
Bennett also expressed excitement in a statement in June about getting to help shape the future of the men’s basketball team at Virginia.
