CINCINNATI (AP) -- Xavier has given coach Chris Mack a new contract that runs through the 2017-18 season.
Mack led the Musketeers to Atlantic 10
regular-season titles and NCAA tournament appearances both of his
seasons as head coach. He was honored as the A-10's coach of the year
after last season.
The school replaced his original
five-year deal with what athletic director Mike Bobinski called "the
most comprehensive agreement" ever for a head coach at Xavier.
The school also announced that Brian
Thornton, its director of men's basketball operations, is moving to
Furman as an assistant coach. Jeremy Growe, a graduate assistant in the
program, will take his place.
