Ole Miss Vice Chancellor for Intercollegiate Athletics Ross Bjork announced on Thursday that Ole Miss women’s basketball coach Yolett McPhee-McCuin has agreed in principle to a four-year contract extension.
The extension comes exactly one year after McPhee-McCuin took the job. She led the Rebels to a 9-22 overall record with only four returners from the 12-19 season a year ago that led to the firing of Matt Insell.
“Coach McPhee-McCuin has been a breath of fresh air for our women’s basketball program from the moment she stepped foot on campus,” Bjork said in a statement. “Her energy and passion for our student-athletes to excel in life and on the court shines through in every moment that she leads our program.
