Virginia men's basketball coach Tony Bennett will announce his immediate retirement Friday, the school announced.

Bennett, 55, was set to begin his 16th season with the Cavaliers in less than three weeks, with the program's first game against Campbell on Nov. 6.

Sources told ESPN that Bennett's decision to retire was not health-related.

As of Thursday night, the school had not named an interim replacement.
