Contract discrepancy could cost former USU basketball coach Tim Duryea $379,000

Utah State University and former basketball coach Tim Duryea are in a contract dispute that might prevent him from receiving one year’s salary.

When Duryea was hired in 2015, he signed a contract that would pay him $379,000 annually “for a term of five (5) years”. But the contract then went on to say that the agreement commenced “on March 30, 2015, and ending on June 30, 2019” — a period of four years.

Duryea declined to comment on the situation when reached by the Tribune this weekend. Duryea, 59, started as a Utah State basketball assistant coach in 2001 and was promoted to head coach in 2015.
