Charleston men's basketball coach Pat Kelsey has received a five-year extension after leading the Cougars to the regular-season title in the Colonial Athletic Association.
The deal for Kelsey, 47, is worth $1 million per season and includes a $1 million buyout if he decides to leave for another job before 2028, according to The Post and Courier.
The Cougars are 28-3 overall and 16-2 in conference entering the CAA tournament, which begins March 4.
"President Andrew Hsu, the Board of Trustees and our athletic director Matt Roberts flat out 'get it,'" Kelsey said in a statement posted to Twitter.
