FARMVILLE, Va. -- Longwood is promoting assistant men's basketball coach Ronnie Thomas to head coach as Griff Aldrich leaves to take a position on new Virginia coach Ryan Odom's staff.
Longwood announced the move Sunday, a day after Virginia formally announced the hiring of Odom away from VCU.
Thomas has been a member of Longwood's staff since 2020, helping the program earn two NCAA tournament bids under Aldrich.
Aldrich had spent seven years at Longwood.
