Message: [QUOTE="UConnJim, post: 2574640, member: 1559"] Jimdish - Unfortunately, that is not the way it works in college sports anymore as it negatively impacts recruiting. Typically, coaches will have at least 4 years remaining on their contracts to show recruits that the school is committed to the coach for the duration of their college career. You will never get a high 4 star or 5 star basketball recruit if the coach has only 1 or 2 years left on their contract. Here are some examples: PC: In 2013, Cooley signed through 2021. In 2016, he signed a "contract for life." Syracuse: Boeheim is signed through 2021/2022 season. Kentucky: Calipari is signed through 2023/2024 season. Texas: Shaka Smart is signed through 2022/2023 season. Xavier: Mack is signed through 2022/2023 season. Cincinnati: In 2014, Cronin signed a 7 year contract through 2020/2021 season. How could a UConn men's basketball coach on a 1 or 2 year contract recruit against coaches that their school's have shown a LT commitment? [/QUOTE]
