The Marshall University Board of Governors today approved personnel athletics contracts including a three-year extension for veteran men’s basketball coach Dan D’Antoni. The 75-year-old coach led the men’s basketball program to its best regular season win total in 76 years. Details on D’Antoni’s season and quotes about today’s decision are available here.
