Leitao resigns: Cavs coach out after 10-18 season

After helming the UVA men's basketball program's worst season since 1967, and a loss in the opening round of this year's ACC Tournament, Dave Leitao announced Monday, March 16, that he is resigning his post as head men's basketball coach.

UVA has reached a financial agreement with Leitao which will see the four-year coach receive $2.1 million in severance pay.

Says athletic director Craig Littlepage in a press release, "Dave has been a respected colleague and a fine University representative in the local community during his tenure here. He brought a great deal of leadership, discipline and integrity to his coaching responsibilities."
