UW-Milwaukee head men’s basketball coach Bart Lundy has inked a five-year contract extension according to a report from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

According to the article, the new deal will pay Lundy $430,000 annually, up from the $350,000 he had been making on the deal he originally signed in March 2022, and includes a number of lump-sum incentives for individual and team achievements.

Lundy, the first coach since Bruce Pearl (2004-07) to lead the Panthers to three consecutive 20-win seasons, is 63-38 (.624) in his 3 years at Milwaukee. The veteran head coach has also been the head coach at Queens and High Point, owns a 492-228 (.683) overall record.

“It shows my commitment to being here for the long haul,” Lundy told the Journal Sentinel. “And the way that I operate is, when people show loyalty, I try to be at least that loyal, if not multiplied. So, the fact that Milwaukee wants me to be their basketball coach, and they’re committed to me, that means the world to me and makes me not only energized but determined to prove them right and to do everything within my power to make this the best possible basketball program for the university.
