Less than two seasons into his tenure at the University of Pittsburgh, men's basketball head coach Jeff Capel has signed a contract extension.
The school announced Wednesday he has added two years to a deal that will now run through the 2026-27 season.
Capel issued a statement about extending his commitment to the Panthers:
"I am grateful for the commitment Chancellor [Patrick] Gallagher and Director of Athletics Heather Lyke have shown to the Pitt Men's Basketball program and to me. We have outstanding leadership and support at the University of Pittsburgh.
