UVA Basketball: Ryan Odom hires three former VCU assistants to new staff

Ryan Odom, the new UVA Basketball coach, announced three hires to his coaching staff, all guys from his recent staff that just won the A-10 title at VCU.

Odom is bringing Bryce Crawford, Matt Henry and Darius Theus with him from his VCU staff, a day after it was formally announced that former Longwood head coach Griff Aldrich will serve as his top assistant.

These moves leave one full-time assistant spot open, along with spots on Odom’s support staff.

Before you ask, no, I don’t know who is in line for any of those still-open jobs.

Crawford and Henry have been with Odom since his UMBC days and were with him for his two-year stint at Utah State.

Theus, a VCU alum who was a member of the 2011 Final Four team, was an assistant at his alma mater from 2018-2022 before spending a season at Siena ahead of returning to VCU with Odom in 2023.
