Mack Gets 2 Year Extension

[Cheesehead]

CINCINNATI - Xavier University Director of Athletics Greg Christopher announced today that the contract of Sedler Family Men's Head Basketball Coach Chris Mack has been extended by a year through the 2021-22 season. Mack, Xavier's first-ever National Coach of the Year, was selected as the 2015-16 USBWA Henry Iba National Coach of the Year as well as the CBS Sports and Basketball Times magazine National Coach of the Year. In addition, Mack earned BIG EAST Conference Coach of the Year by CBS Sports and Bleacher Report.

Xavier, 28-6 overall this past season, finished 14-4 and in second place behind eventual National Champion Villanova in the BIG EAST Conference. Xavier's 28 wins tied for the second-most wins in school history and the 14 BIG EAST wins are a school record as is the final Associated Press Poll ranking of No. 9.

Mack, who recently completed his seventh season at the helm, has led Xavier to six NCAA Tournaments, including three Sweet 16 appearances. Mack, who led Xavier to a school-record final Associated Press ranking of No. 9 this past season, led Xavier to its highest-ever in-season national rankings at No. 5 in the Associated Press Poll and No. 4 in the USA Today Coaches Poll.

Mack, 46, has recorded a 162-77 (.678) mark over seven years and stands second on Xavier's all-time wins list. He has led Xavier to the NCAA Tournament in six of his seven seasons at the helm, including the NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 in 2010, 2012 and 2015. He is the only Xavier head coach that has led XU to three Sweet 16s and he has more NCAA Tournament wins (7) than any XU head coach.

At his current pace of 23.1 wins per season, Mack will shatter his alma mater's all-time wins record long before the end of this new agreement.

Mack, a 1992 Xavier graduate and former two-time XU team captain, began his collegiate coaching career as the Xavier Director of Basketball operations for two seasons, 1999-2001, under the late Skip Prosser. Mack spent five seasons, 2004-09, as the top assistant under Sean Miller, the man he eventually replaced to become head coach in 2009.

Would be interesting to see what the numbers are on this. Hopefully he got a nice pay raise.

My first question was "did he get a raise"?

I wonder if, "Sedler Family Men's Head Basketball Coach Chris Mack speaking" is how he answers the phone.

This is nothing new. He has a clause in his contract that its automatically extended 1 year for every year he makes the NCAA tournament. Has been that way since he restructed it in 13-14.

nuts, I would be stunned if he didn't get one. Notwithstanding the less than stellar play against Wisconsin and that crazy "3" from the corner that took us out too early, it was a bit of a "new territory" year for Xavier basketball.

I believe the man has or will be calling his tax attorney shortly.

Mack dropping by Colorado next week.

Couldn't hurt recruiting, either.

Huh really? So basically as long as we make the NCAA tournament, he will never be able to run out of his contract??

EDIT: For clarity, I don't mean leave for another school, but like his contract will always extend.
