Contract Extensions!

A list of head coaches who have gotten contract extensions, and their record when they got the extension.

1. Jamie Craighead- San Jose St.

Contract extension after 3 years, June 30, 2016-39-55; 23-29 Mt. West, after the 2015-16 season!  That is a record of 18-42 since signing the extension!

In addition, there is a clause in her contract, that if she has a winning record, a year is automatically added to her contract.!  You have to select San Jose St. on the drop down menu to find out her contract.

2. Jerry Finkbeiner- Utah St.

Contract extension after 5 years; March 6, 2017 with a 71-83 record, 44-46 in the Mt. West; after the 2016-17 season.  He went 7-23, 4-13, in 2017-18!!

3. Kathy Olivier- UNLV

Contract extension after 9 years, August 25, 2017, with 138-146 record,73-77 in Mt. West, after the 2016-17 season.   UNLV went 19-12, 14-4 in the Mt. West.  So in ten years, she has had four winning seasons and no trips to the NCAA!  In the Mt. West without Utah, BYU, TCU, and a good New Mexico team for most of her time.

Obviously, she did not receive a 9 year contract when she first got the UNLV job.  So, she received a contract extension earlier.  Her record after five years was 72-85, and 33-45 in the Mt. West.

UNLV fired their previous head coach, a black female, Regina Miller, after 10 years, with a record of175-125, 66-57 9 years in MW. 6 winning seasons. 1 NCAA, with Utah, BYU, & TCU, & a good New Mexico in Mt. West.

She has had a three year record as head coach at Portland St. 27-57; 15-29 in the Big Sky from 2004-05 to 2006-07.
