Auburn has given men’s basketball coach Bruce Pearl a three-year contract extension, the school announced Monday. Pearl's extension through the 2022-2023 season comes after he led the 2017-2018 Tigers to the SEC regular season title and their first NCAA Tournament berth since the 2002-2003 season.
The terms of Pearl’s contract have yet to be released. Pearl’s previous deal paid him a $2.5 million in base salary for the past season.
“It was a historic season for Auburn basketball and one that was matched by excellence in the classroom as well,” Auburn athletic director Allen Greene said in a statement.
