I’m being told tonight that the search committee’s work is done, but no, that doesn’t meant we have a new UVA Basketball coach just yet.

Ron Sanchez, who served as the University of Virginia’s interim men’s basketball coach during the 2024-25 season, will not be retained as the program’s full-time coach, the University announced Wednesday.

“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.
