IOWA CITY, Iowa – Iowa coach Steve Alford has reached a
tentative agreement on a five-year, $4.5 million contract extension
that would keep him with the school through 2009.
The $900,000 annual salary doesn't include incentives, Iowa
athletic director Bob Bowlsby said Wednesday.
"I appreciate very much the commitment that Mr. Bowlsby and the
University of Iowa have presented," Alford said. "I couldn't be
more pleased with all phases of our program."
This season, Alford's second at the school, Iowa went 24-12, won
the Big Ten tournament, and reached the second round of the NCAA
Tournament. The team went 14-16 in his first year.
Before heading to Iowa in 1999, Alford went 78-48 in four
seasons at Southwest Missouri State.
As a player, he helped Indiana win the 1987 NCAA championship. Send this story to a friend | Most sent stories
