Kelvin Sampson officially signed his six-year, $18 million contract to remain Houston’s head coach on Tuesday, according to the Houston Chronicle.
The deal will pay the 64-year old head coach $3 million annually, which can increase due to the plethora of incentives that are included.
In the 2018-19 season, the men’s basketball team finished with a perfect Academic Progress Rate score of 1000, which would meet a $10,000 incentive under Sampson’s new contract.
The University and Sampson originally came to terms on this deal in April 2019. The terms of the contract were in effect for this past season, which means that the head coach will receive the incentive bonuses for the criteria he met this past season, a UH athletics spokesman told The Cougar.
