Despite an up-and-down start to Wes Miller's tenure as University of Cincinnati men's basketball coach, the school still has faith that the 39-year-old is the man for the job.
Sources confirmed to The Enquirer on Wednesday that UC's board of trustees approved a new two-year contract extension for Miller that will run through the 2028-29 season.

With the extension, Miller’s average annual salary grows from $1.31 million to $2.95 million, according to sources.
Miller originally signed a six-year deal worth $7,875,000 in April 2021 when he was hired as the 28th men's basketball coach in school history.
