Virginia interim coach Ron Sanchez will not be retained, the school announced Wednesday. The Cavaliers fell 66-60 to Georgia Tech in the ACC Tournament on Wednesday to end the season with a 15-17 mark under Sanchez, who led the Cavaliers for one season following the abrupt retirement of Tony Bennett.

“Virginia officially announces what has been expected for a few months: interim head coach Ron Sanchez will not be retained as the program’s full-time head coach for the 2025-26 season,” Jeff Borzello said in a post. Ron Sanchez was obviously put into a very difficult spot ahead of this season, but he did not do enough to earn the full-time gig.
