Overview

  • Virginia, which announced the move Thursday, added the former Syracuse head coach to Odom’s bench to replace departing associate head coach Griff Aldrich.
  • No formal title has been released, though multiple reports expect Autry to take the associate head coach role.
  • Autry went 49-48 in three seasons at Syracuse before a March dismissal that Jim Boeheim linked to key players having down years.
  • The move reunites Autry and Odom, who worked together on Seth Greenberg’s Virginia Tech staff from 2008 to 2010.
  • He also brings 12 seasons from Boeheim’s staff, a stretch that included seven NCAA bids and two Final Fours, to a Virginia team that finished 30-6 last season.
