CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Virginia will not retain interim basketball coach Ron Sanchez, who took over three weeks before the season began following Tony Bennett's surprising retirement. UVA athletic director Carla Williams made the announcement three hours after the Cavaliers' season ended with a 66-60 loss to Georgia Tech in the second round of the ACC Tournament. Sanchez went 15-17 this year, earning a first-round bye at the conference tournament. It's the first time the Cavaliers have finished with a losing record since 2009-10, Bennett's first season leading the program.
