UCLA has yet to step on the court in the 2022 NCAA tournament, yet its coach Mick Cronin has already received a contract extension.
UCLA announced the extension on Thursday, which will keep Cronin with the program through the 2027-28 season.
“Mick Cronin is one of the best coaches in the country, and this deal signifies our commitment to keeping him at UCLA and competing for national championships,” UCLA’s director of athletics Martin Jarmond said in a press release. “Mick is the right leader for our program because he knows what it means to represent the four letters, he won’t settle for less than being an elite program, and he wins with integrity.
