West Virginia basketball coach signs 11-year contract

http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/news/story?id=3378894&campaign=rss&source=NCAAHeadlines

West Virginia basketball coach Bob Huggins has only coached the Mountaineers this season, leading them to the third round of the NCAA Tournament. Apparently, that was enough to receive an 11-year contract that will pay him $1.5 million a year and keep him coaching at his alma mater until he's 65 years old.
