The second in 2 years.
He has 5 years remaining on the one he signed last year. This one will almost certainly take him well into his 60s.

Well deserved! Believe he will make our program into a powerhouse. Also this may be because of other reasons as mentioned in the rumor lol

Some Brand Name Schools will come knocking this off season.

Coaching carousel is growing:
UAB says bye bye to their previous coach and Pitino could be going to Iona

No doubt, and the extension won't stop that, but I honestly don't think Ritchie is going anywhere.

Do you think he would entertain any of them after he just signed his second extension? Highly unlikely in my opinion.

Coach McKay is not going anywhere. He is building something special here and he knows it.

Oh I doubt he will be going anywhere now. But he had to have some Big Time schools interested.
On a side note, this cancelling of the Tournament probably saved a few coaches their job. If they were on the fence Administration might be willing to give them another chance.

Signing an extension provides ZERO clues as to a coach’s proclivity to leaving.

Good to note. The coaching carousel will likely be a little tamer this offseason due to the tourney cancellation.
