LEXINGTON — After losing assistant Jai Lucas to Duke earlier this offseason, the Kentucky basketball program made a financial commitment to avoid further losses to coach John Calipari's staff.
Assistant coach Ron "Chin" Coleman was awarded a raise and one-year contract extension in May. The contract, released by UK's Office of Legal Counsel, was finalized earlier this week.
The new deal increases Coleman's 2022-23 salary from $500,000 to $575,000. His 2023-24 salary also increases from $550,000 to $600,000.
Coleman's UK contract had been set to expire after the 2023-24 season. The new deal extends the term of the deal through the 2024-25 season, during which Coleman will be paid $650,000.
