Final Fours don’t go unrewarded.
The two best seasons in South Carolina basketball history will result in new contracts for men’s coach Frank Martin and women’s coach Dawn Staley, sources with direct knowledge of the situation confirmed to The State. Athletic director Ray Tanner will likely present the new packages to USC’s Board of Trustees at its next scheduled meeting on April 21.
Exact figures weren’t available on Monday but each coach is expected to receive a bump in salary. The Board has to approve all contracts, but contracts will be awarded retroactively when they are approved, giving each coach their increased salary from the date of their last game.
