Virginia expected to hire former VCU coach Ryan Odom to lead Cavaliers

Virginia men’s basketball reportedly will turn to an antagonist from its past. According to various reports, including The Athletic , the Cavaliers are expected to hire Ryan Odom from VCU — and a few stops before that, from the University of Maryland Baltimore County squad that stunned Virginia in the 2018 NCAA Tournament — to become their new head coach. 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.
