Cincinnati coach Mick Cronin received a two-year contract extension Tuesday, according to a WKRC-Cincinnati report. Cronin’s deal will now expire in 2014.
Cronin, who was hired in 2006, led the Bearcats to an 18-14 record in 2008-09. It was the first winning season during a tenure that’s seen an improvement in wins each year.
“Under Coach Cronin’s leadership the past three years, the men’s basketball program has improved on the court and in the classroom,” said Director of Athletics Mike Thomas. “I look forward to the continued development of the program to once again attain national prominence and compete for Big East championships on an annual basis.”
