Penn State men’s basketball coach Pat Chambers is one step closer to signing an extension to remain in Happy Valley.
The Board of Trustees’ Committee on Compensation met publicly Thursday and unanimously approved a four-year contract extension that would keep Chambers with the Nittany Lions through the 2021-2022 season.
The full terms of the deal have not yet been publicly disclosed. And, according to the university, the extension is still “subject to definitive documentation that is mutually agreed to and signed by both parties.” But that’s considered a formality at this point.
In a news release sent by the university Thursday afternoon, Athletic Director Sandy Barbour praised the head coach after his seven seasons with the program.
