The Wolverines' basketball coach is coming off of one of the most disappointing seasons of his career, but the administration showed its confidence in him by announcing a two-year contract extension and a raise.
According to a news release from U-M today, Beilein will coach through the 2020-21 season, when he will be 68 years old. His annual compensation will increase to $3.37 million. Based on USA TODAY's figures from last year's NCAA tournament coaches, that would place him eighth nationally, behind Ohio State's Thad Matta.
