ACC Summer Roundup: Another Extension
Virginia has wisely chose to extend Ryan Odom’s contract
In Virginia, USA, Ryan Odom, head coach of the Virginia Cavaliers, has received a significant contract extension, becoming the second ACC coach to do so this summer. Odom's father, Dave, was an assistant at the school from 1982 to 1989, and he himself even served as a ballboy. Although Odom did not begin his first season with the Cavaliers at a 30-win pace, university officials deemed it wise to secure his services.
This follows Miami's decision to extend their coach, Jai Lucas, ahead of other schools such as Kentucky or Kansas. Michael Malone, the head coach at UNC, revealed that it was Roy Williams who initially persuaded him to accept the job at UNC. Malone mentioned that he had previously turned down UNC three times before Williams' persuasion.
