Shaka Smart has rejuvenated the Marquette men’s basketball team in his two years at the helm with a different culture and new core values.
And earlier this week, he was rewarded for his efforts.
Smart signed a contract extension keeping him in Milwaukee through the 2029-30 season, the Marquette athletic department announced Tuesday afternoon in a press release. The financial details of the contract extension were not disclosed by the university.
“My family and I are incredibly thankful for the opportunity to be part of the Marquette community, where relationships, growth and victory truly matter,” Smart said in a statement.
