PITTSBURGH (AP) -Pittsburgh basketball coach Jamie Dixon is getting a contract extension, ending any speculation he might leave the Panthers for a higher-paying job.
Dixon was already signed through the 2015-16 season, at a salary of about $1.6 million per season.
Dixon’s record of 188-54 in seven seasons – an average of nearly 27 victories per season – is one of the best in NCA history for any coach at that period of his career. The Panthers have made the NCAA tournament every season under Dixon.
Dixon’s extension was announced a day after football coach Dave Wannstedt signed a two-year extension through 2014.
