Boston College Extends Contract of Women's Basketball Coach Erik Johnson Through 2019 - But Why?

Not trying to throw the guy under the bus, but results seem too mediocre to extend contract through 2019.

I will start this article with a few statements/caveats:

1. By all accounts, Boston College women's basketball coach Erik Johnson is a world-class human being - based not only on reports in the media, but also upon what I've heard about him from people close to the situation. When it comes to the goals of student-athlete off-court and academic development one would be hard pressed to find anyone better. He's also proven that he can coach, having been an assistant under Cathy Inglese during her successful run at BC and having led the Denver program to mild success, including a WNIT appearance, in his first head coaching gig.
