Auburn gives basketball coach Bruce Pearl 5-year extension | |
AUBURN, Ala. (AP) Auburn has given basketball coach Bruce Pearl a five-year contract extension after the program's best season in years. Pearl led the Tigers to a share of their first Southeastern Conference regular season title since 1999 last season despite having two top players ineligible. The extension announced Monday runs through the 2022-2023 season. "It was a historic season for Auburn basketball and one that was matched by excellence in the classroom as well," athletic director Allen Greene said. MORE | |
