Steve Alford gave back a contract extension last year after UCLA compiled a losing record, but a bounce-back season could help extend the coach’s stay in Westwood.
Alford told The Times that he expected to have discussions with athletic director Dan Guerrero about a contract extension “as we move through the future here because obviously we’re excited about the direction of our program.”
UCLA went 31-5 last season and is one of only a handful of teams to have advanced to an NCAA tournament regional semifinal in three of the last four years. The Bruins have also landed an incoming recruiting class that’s been ranked No.
