NC State announced on Thursday a contract extension for women’s basketball head coach Wes Moore, and that puts his salary at $750,000 per year. Moore interviewed for the Tennessee job this offseason, though it was never likely he was going anywhere. (Not that that should impact contract negotiations, mind you.)
Why leave, anyhow, when you have a chance to make a breakthrough in a way that your program has never seen before? Moore is a fantastic recruiter and a great coach too, and while his team was gutted by serious injuries this year, it still made the Sweet Sixteen.
