Women’s basketball coach Bonnie Henrickson signed a three-year contract extension, the Athletics Department announced last week.
Henrickson’s contract now runs through the 2013-14 season. Her annual $485,000 contract remains unchanged, as does her additional retention payment, which is $150,000 per year.
“We are excited about what the future holds, and very pleased that Bonnie will be the coach to lead us into that future,” Athletics Director Lew Perkins said in a statement. “She has done an excellent job building our women’s basketball program to a high level in what is perhaps the most difficult conference in the country.”
Kansas finished the 2008-09 season ranked in the Top 25 in attendance and fourth in the country in increased attendance. The Jayhawks have advanced to postseason play in three of Henrickson’s five years with the program and have a record of 79-79.
“I appreciate the vote of confidence from Lew Perkins and I am excited about the progress we’ve made,” Henrickson said in a statement.
Henrickson arrived at Kansas after seven years at Virginia Tech. The Hokies reached the NCAA tournament five times and the WNIT twice, winning 20 or more games each season.
