West Virginia University Director of Athletics Oliver Luck has approved an amended employment agreement for basketball coach Bob Huggins, extending his relationship with the University to 2023 and increasing his annual salary and incentives. The agreement takes effect immediately.

Under the agreement, following the sixth year (in 2017-18), Huggins will assume a five-year Emeritus status appointment within the WVU Department of Intercollegiate Athletics, which concludes June 30, 2023. He will be involved in public relations and development activities in addition to other duties assigned at that time by the Director of Athletics. Huggins could defer his term of Emeritus status and continue to serve as head coach beyond 2018 with a mutual agreement between Huggins and the Director.
