I saw on UK’s website that Barnhart gave NM a contract extension thru 2028. The article didn’t have any contract details. Just a lot of fluff to make it look like it was well earned. I admit last year was fun, but was it a 1 year anomaly? Couldn’t Barnhart wait to see if Mingione could put together solid back to back seasons?
Mingione contract extension?

It was a pretty big change. Makes him paid very well and I believe they took out the buyout clause. So if they let him go early they owe the whole amount. Personally, Id have waited one more season. Think this could be another strong one with the core returning.
Why do it? He wasn’t going anywhere this year. And if he had another strong year then there would be a lot more support for the extension.

Coaches who can't tell recruits and their families they're locked in contractually for the duration of the time they'd be in school don't typically fare well. And if you don't think other schools use that against a coach you haven't been following college athletics.
