VCU Rams head men's basketball coach Ryan Odom has emerged as the top target for the Virginia job, according to a report from ESPN's Pete Thamel and Jeff Borzello. A deal is expected to come together soon.
Odom's previous stops include Utah State and UMBC, where he led the Retrievers to a 2018 upset of No. 1 seed Virginia in the NCAA tournament. It was the first time that a No. 16 seed had ever defeated a No. 1 seed.
Odom is 201-117 in his career at Charlotte, UMBC, Utah State and VCU. He led VCU to a 28-7 record this season and an Atlantic 10 title.
