Red Wolves’ Balado gets 2-year extension
Monday brought the return of Arkansas State star Norchad Omier, who announced he'd be coming back for a third season with the Red Wolves.
A little more than 24 hours later, it was made official that the man who brought Omier to Jonesboro would stick around as well.
ASU announced Tuesday afternoon it had reached a two-year contract extension with men's basketball Coach Mike Balado, keeping the 46-year-old with the Red Wolves through the 2023-24 season. Balado will continue at a base salary of $375,000 -- the same amount he received in each of his first five seasons since being hired in March 2017.
